# Try the Claude API free

There is no separate trial to apply for — create the account with Google or GitHub to get $10 of usage at official API prices and run real calls against every supported model.

## Prove it before you pay

The included usage is designed to check the gateway end to end: create a key, connect your editor, and confirm streaming, tool use and your favorite model all behave as expected.

## Then scale on your terms

When the trial usage runs low, top up any amount. There is no subscription and balance never expires, so you only ever pay for what you actually call.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I start the trial?

Create a new account with Google or GitHub. The $10 of official-price usage is added automatically; email and password accounts are not eligible.

### What happens when the free usage runs out?

Top up any whole-dollar amount to keep going; your progressive discount applies immediately.
