Who should care
Best for multimodal apps, generous testing quotas, Google ecosystem users, and developers comparing free API limits before paying.

Shortlist Gemini when multimodal input, long context, and free developer testing are more important than pure OpenAI compatibility.
Watch out: Check region availability, model naming, safety blocks, and quota reset behavior before automation.
