AI Credits vs Tokens
AI credits are a payment or allowance layer. Tokens are a usage meter used by most LLM APIs. Requests are another meter (one HTTP call). There is no universal credits-to-tokens formula because each product defines a “credit” differently — prepaid dollars, image packs, or chat-plan extra usage.

Claude Credits
Claude credits can mean extra usage on a paid Claude plan, Claude Code billing, prepaid Claude API balance, or a promotional grant. They are not one wallet. This page routes you to the right product, then links the API pricing hub if you are a developer.
Read guideGuides
What Are API Credits?
API credits are prepaid or granted balance used to pay for programmatic model calls — not a ChatGPT or Claude chat subscription. Providers meter tokens, images, or seconds and deduct dollars (or a vendor credit) from that developer wallet.

Free OpenAI API Credits
Free OpenAI credits and open ai free credits are the same search. This page lists legitimate Platform trials, partner programs, and startup paths — and flags expired or unofficial gateway offers. Nothing here promises a fixed signup bonus.
Read guideGuides
ChatGPT API Credits
There is no separate ChatGPT product called API credits. Searchers almost always mean OpenAI Platform prepaid credits — or they are mixing a ChatGPT subscription with developer billing. This page only untangles that naming mix-up.

Google AI Credits
Google AI credits means AI Studio, Gemini API billing, Google Cloud trial or promotional credits, or Google for Startups — not Google Play gift cards. This page is a router. It does not treat every “google credits” search as AI traffic.
