Tripo AI Free API Credits

Overview

Tripo AI generates 3D models from text and images through Tripo Studio and an OpenAPI. API usage is billed in credits priced at $0.01 each, and Tripo issues free credits to new accounts and to game developers building on Tripo Game Hub.

Free Tier Quotas & Limits

• 2,000 OpenAPI credits are granted per account the first time an API key is generated, as announced in Tripo's OpenAPI platform launch post. At $0.01 per credit this is worth $20.
• The Tripo Studio Free plan includes 200 monthly credits (roughly 13 models), one concurrent task, public models with non-commercial use, and a standard queue.
• Default API concurrency is 10 tasks per category, with lower caps for P-series generation and model processing (5) and image generation (1).
• Credits can be bought from $1; purchased credits do not expire.

Tripo Game Hub Developer Credits

The Game Hub Developer API Credit Program adds:

• A one-time 5,000-credit grant (worth $50) for development and testing, requested through the official application form.
• 10,000 bonus credits (worth $100), granted automatically once the published game passes Tripo's examination, provided the API key in the game matches the one used during development.
• Applications may be resubmitted up to twice per month with a valid reason; the lifetime cap is 5,000,000 credits ($50,000).

Key Models

The API exposes Tripo v1.4, v2.0, v2.5 and v3.0 for text-to-3D, image-to-3D, multiview, texture, retopology and rigging tasks. The current quickstart uses model IDs such as tripo-v3.1 against https://openapi.tripo3d.ai/v3.

How to Get Started

Create an account at platform.tripo3d.ai, open the API Keys page and generate a key to receive the 2,000 free credits, then call the generation endpoints with your key as a Bearer token. Game Hub credits require the separate application form and a game built for Tripo Game Hub.
