Common questions

How can I get AI credits for free?

Can I get free OpenAI API credits?

The recorded OpenAI startup program offers API credits to eligible companies through partner venture-capital referrals. The amount and duration are not publicly fixed. Check the official program page linked from the OpenAI listing for current eligibility.

Which AI services have an always-free tier?
