-> Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute catalogs **451 free-tier entries across 35 recurring pool keys** and computes the token headline from the **17 pools with a published positive monthly budget plus five per-model Groq caps**, deduplicated by shared pool. The result stays visible on the dashboard (`/dashboard/free-tiers`).
