Free Cohere credits & trial keys

Cohere gives developers free evaluation API keys — no credit card — to prototype text generation, embeddings and reranking within a monthly call limit.

The short answer

Grab Cohere trial API keys from the dashboard with no card and start building. They’re capped at 1,000 calls/month — perfect for evaluation, with paid production keys available when you outgrow them.

Frequently asked questions

Does Cohere offer a free API tier?
Yes. Cohere provides free trial (evaluation) API keys with no credit card. They allow up to 1,000 API calls per month across Cohere’s Command, Embed and Rerank models, with per-endpoint rate limits — ideal for prototyping and evaluation.
Do I need a credit card to use Cohere for free?
No. You can create a free Cohere dashboard account and generate a trial key without a card. Production keys (paid, far less limited) require billing details.
What can I build on Cohere’s free trial keys?
Trial keys are great for text generation, semantic search and reranking prototypes. The 1,000-calls/month cap means they’re for evaluation rather than serving production traffic.
