Frequently asked questions

Where can I get free LLM credits right now?
The fastest no-credit-card options are provider and router free tiers: the Google AI Studio (Gemini) free tier, the Groq free tier, OpenRouter free models, Cohere trial keys and Hugging Face Inference credits. For larger one-off credits, cloud trials like Google Cloud ($300) require a card.
Which free AI APIs need no credit card?
Google AI Studio, Groq, OpenRouter free models, Cohere trial keys and Hugging Face all let you start without a card. Cloud trial credits (Google Cloud, Azure, AWS) require a payment method for identity verification.
How do you keep these offers accurate?
Every offer is checked against the provider’s official source and carries a “last verified” date. We never publish a figure we can’t confirm; uncertain offers are held back as drafts. See our methodology page for the full process.
Do free tiers expire?
Free tiers are ongoing allowances that don’t expire, though their limits can change. Trial credits are time-limited (for example 90 days) and have an expiry date, which we show and use to compute each offer’s status.
