What is confirmed

  1. Trial credits — “one-time free trial credits amounting to a few dozen messages are sent out to new users regularly”. The exact amount and cadence are not named.
  2. Search without login — a button on the home page; cards can be browsed and downloaded for external clients.
  3. Chat on Chub's own models only by subscription or on trial credits.
  4. Your own API key — Chub cards can be used in SillyTavern with another provider's model; that costs at the provider.

Getting more

“Chub ai free unlimited” and mods do not work: model access is granted by the server. The real free scenario is the card catalog plus someone else's model on your own key.
