⚠️ Risk notes — read before sending sensitive code

• The domain was registered 22 Sep 2026 — the service is under a month old, and third-party scam checkers flag exactly that.
• The operator is not publicly identified; the ToS says only "Operated by Clean APIs".
• It's a third-party relay: identical in/out pricing per model and Claude rates well below typical first-party pricing are typical of gray-market relays. No independent model-authenticity (fingerprint) verification was found at publish time.
• Everything you send — code, prompts, anything in context — transits the operator's servers. Fine for experiments and side projects; think twice for proprietary code or secrets.

Verdict: the free tier is real, costs nothing, and asks for no card — but treat it as untrusted infrastructure until the service builds a track record.
