- 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.
