Google AI Studio opens free app publishing without payment method with Starter Tier
Google has introduced a Starter Tier in AI Studio that allows users to publish apps without registering a payment method or billing account. Previously, app deployment required creating a Google Cloud project and setting up billing. With Starter Tier, Google automatically creates the cloud project and handles region selection, API activation and security policies. The tier has no time limit but restricts regions and resources and caps deployments at 2 apps. Eligibility is limited to personal Google accounts.
