How does VibeFree make AI free?

VibeFree is funded entirely by advertising, not subscriptions. Short sponsored cards appear in the chat loading screen and alongside AI responses; that ad revenue pays for the AI usage behind every conversation, so chatting and coding stay free with no bill to you, ever.

• Two funding paths exist depending on which model you use: the default DeepSeek model is funded by ads VibeFree sells directly, and the optional Llama model is funded by the Idlen ad network.
• Idlen is contacted by VibeFree's own servers, not your browser - it never runs code on your device or sets cookies.
• You choose whether to allow Idlen-funded ads via the consent banner; declining means you only see ads VibeFree sells directly.
• Advertisers bid for ad slots the same way anyone can - see the Advertisers page.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I decline the ad-consent banner?

Your account, your data, and every other feature are unaffected. Declining means Idlen receives nothing and you only see ads VibeFree sells directly, but since the Llama model is funded solely by Idlen ads, it stops accepting messages until you consent. The default DeepSeek model is funded by VibeFree's own advertisers and is unaffected either way.

Can I advertise on VibeFree?

Yes - see the Advertisers page to learn how the bidding system works, or start a campaign directly.
