Gemini API credits are developer prepaid or pay-as-you-go billing for Google AI Studio and Gemini API token usage. This hub lists official vs relay model prices. Consumer Gemini app allowance lives on Gemini Credits. Cloud trial and Startups grants live on Google AI Credits.
01
Gemini API credits bill developer keys. Chat limits inside the Gemini app sit on a Google consumer account and do not refill an API key. Use Gemini Credits for that split. Official API billing: Gemini API billing documentation. Last verified: 2026-08-18.
02
AI Studio free tier is mostly rate and daily limits, not a large prepaid dollar pot. Production traffic usually needs a billed Cloud or AI Studio project. Details: Gemini API Free Credits. Billing docs: Gemini API billing documentation. Last verified: 2026-08-18.
03
Google Cloud trial credits and Google for Startups grants apply to a Cloud billing account. They may pay for Vertex or other Cloud APIs if those products are enabled — they are not Gemini app credits and not Play balance. Route those programs on Google AI Credits. Cloud free features: Google Cloud free features. Last verified: 2026-08-18.
