Google AI Studio and the API is free to experiment with and use. It is just limited, especially 1.5 pro, at 50 calls per day (because access to that model is the upgrade with paid Gemini web chatbot.)
If you convert to a paid account, the GUI version remains free, but then your API key usage will accrue charges towards your bill. So there is enough quota to develop before deploying.
Then you can alternately go for Vertex AI, which takes a great bit more understanding of Google Cloud authentication and rights delegation. (Then use Claude also.)
