Who it is forA student, hobbyist or developer without a credit card who wants to try a model API at no cost.

The problemFree tiers, trial credit and relay sign-up offers are scattered and change, and the eligibility rules are often unclear.

The outcomeA list of free credit offers for the model, each marked with whether a card, ID check or application is required.

What you need first

  • An AI agent you already use, such as Codex, Claude Code or Cursor
  • A model name or kind of use (chat, coding, long output) to compare
  • For connecting an API: a grandet.ai sign-up, a top-up and a token created in the group the site names

Steps

  1. Ask your agent: Is there a free API for <model name>? I don't have a credit card.
  2. Or query the HTTP free-credit lookup directly: https://grandet.ai/api/v1/free-credits?q=gemini, replacing gemini with your model or provider.
  3. Read the card, ID check and application notes for each offer before signing up.
  4. Open the source link for any offer you plan to use and confirm the terms on that site.

Prompt for your agent

Use the Grandet free-credit lookup at https://grandet.ai/api/v1/free-credits?q=<model or provider> to list free credit offers for <model or provider>. Return each offer with whether a card, ID check or application is needed, and flag any offer that needs a card.

Caveat. Free offers and promotions change over time, so confirm current terms on the source site before you rely on one.
