Cheapest/most approachable model for first timer

Hello,

I want to take Clawdbot for a spin but I'm struggling with choosing a model provider. I have a Gemini subscription right now thanks to a trial but I can't find out if that gives me any more limits on the API key. I don't have Claude, or any other subscriptions. Of course, I could purchase some tokens, but that gets expensive fast, so I'm not sure what to choose. Suggestions?

Thanks.
