Run cheap or local models.
Same workbench.
Ollama is allowed on trial. Start in the browser on the cheap catalog — no card, seven days. If you have a GPU, route the same project at your machine. After trial: pack or monthly for the full catalog. Not free forever. Not frontier on day one.
Why this page exists
Some people will not send code to a frontier API. Some already run Ollama, LM Studio, or a 7B on a card they own. Some just want the cheap cloud catalog without a GPU.
EasyAgents is still the AI coding workbench for cost-conscious coders. Local is a door, not a second company. The offer does not change: seven-day no-card trial on the cheap catalog, then pack or monthly.
We do not sell “free cloud forever,” bundled mystery credits as a product, or BYOK as the way in. Bring-your-own key is after you pay. FAQ, not the hero.
Three honest paths
Browser, cheap catalog
No GPU. Register, no card, seven days. Daily cap. Good enough to see plan, build, and spend on grunt work. Not Opus. Not unlimited.
Ollama on trial
Allowed. Same project. Your weights, your machine. The workbench still plans, gates builds, and keeps git. Desktop app if you need the local runtime on Windows.
Full catalog after pay
Pack or monthly unlocks the paid catalog. Mix cheap and good models on the same project. Wallet meters. Local can stay in the mix.
What the workbench does that a model host does not
A local model in a terminal is not a product. EasyAgents is the project: chat, coding agents when you have paid access, git, staging preview, pipeline. The model dropdown is the product — including local — not a single lab forever.
Trial still clamps: cheap allowlist + daily cap. Local does not unlock frontier cloud models. Coding-agent CLIs stay off until you pay. That is intentional.
Privacy: if you stay on Ollama, that traffic is yours. Cloud cheap-catalog calls still leave the machine. We do not pretend otherwise.
Questions
Is Ollama on the seven-day trial?
Yes.
Do I need a GPU to start?
No. The cheap catalog runs in the browser. GPU is for your local models.
Is this a free tier forever?
No. Seven days, then pack or monthly. Local weights do not make the workbench a $0 monthly.
Can I bring my own OpenAI / Anthropic key on day one?
No. BYOK is after you pay. On trial: cheap catalog and Ollama.
Will you quote token prices here?
No. We do not invent rates. Checkout is on /pricing.
