Free Hugging Face inference credits

Hugging Face routes inference across many providers and gives every account a small monthly credit to experiment for free — no credit card needed to start.

The short answer

Use the Hugging Face Inference credits to call open models with no card. The free tier is small ($0.10/month) but ongoing; PRO and pay-as-you-go extend it when you need more.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hugging Face inference free?
Every Hugging Face account gets a small monthly credit to call models through its routed Inference Providers — $0.10/month on free accounts and $2.00/month on PRO ($9/month), with no credit card to start.
How do I use the free Hugging Face inference credit?
Create a free account, open Settings → Inference Providers, and use your token to call routed models within the monthly included credit. You can continue past it via pay-as-you-go.
Is the free credit enough for real use?
The free $0.10/month is small and explicitly “subject to change”, so it suits light experimentation. PRO raises it to $2/month, and you can top up with pay-as-you-go credits.
