What's free from Claude Developer Platform
Claude API New User Credits · Free credits
New Claude Console accounts receive a small amount of free API credits to test the Claude API; Anthropic does not publish the amount. Under its Credit Terms, promotional credits expire at the time stated when issued, or one year after issue.
The catch: Anthropic publishes no amount; it is a one-time small grant that expires (one year after issue unless stated otherwise), then standard paid pricing applies.
- One-time grant for new users, not a recurring allotment
- Amount not published
- Promotional credits expire at the stated time, or one calendar year after issue
- Non-refundable, non-transferable, lost if the account is closed
- Rate limits vary by usage tier; new organizations may start in a lower Evaluation tier
