SmarToken $5 Signup Credit

SmarToken offers a $5.00 free trial credit for new developers to explore and benchmark leading Chinese frontier AI models through a single, unified API gateway.

Offer Overview

The credit is granted once per eligible account: new users signing up with Google receive it automatically after signup risk checks while the campaign is active, and existing SmarToken users were credited via campaign migration with no action needed. The promotional campaign runs through December 31, 2026 at 23:59:59 (UTC+8); Google signups after that time are not eligible.

What the Credit Covers

The $5 balance is promotional account balance for API usage — it cannot be withdrawn as cash. No credit card is required. It can be consumed across any model supported in the SmarToken catalog, including:

• DeepSeek Chat (deepseek-chat): Optimized for coding copilots and customer support agents.
• Kimi K2 (kimi-k2): Long-context model tailored for code analysis and deep research tasks.
• Qwen Plus (qwen-plus): General-purpose model for structured data extraction and multilingual chat.
• GLM-4 Flash (glm-4-flash): Low-latency model suited for internal automation tools and knowledge retrieval.
• MiniMax M2.7 (minimax-m2): Cost-effective engine for tool-use workflows and agent orchestration.
• Additional catalog routes including Doubao Seed, ERNIE 4 Turbo, Hunyuan TurboS, and Step-3.

Usage & Billing Details

• Transparent Platform Pricing: Token consumption debits against your trial credit at catalog rates plus a 20% platform routing fee.
• Testing in Playground: You can test prompts and inspect model outputs directly within the built-in playground before connecting API endpoints.
• Budget Controls: Configure daily and monthly spending thresholds or restrict model families per API key to prevent unintended overages.
• API Compatibility: Integrates directly with OpenAI SDK migrations and streaming endpoints.
