The 5,000 credit signup bonus
2026-04-25 · Billing
A new account can call the API immediately. The bonus is real credits, not a separate trial mode.
When the account is created, 5,000 credits are added and a ledger row named signup_bonus is written. The first sign-in also creates one API key. The dashboard balance includes the credits, and that key spends them.
They are spent by reliable solves, whether the call comes from the key or from Try it. They are not refreshed each day, and a second account is the only way to get the bonus again. The free account does not get a second key.
The bonus is there so you can measure your portal before you buy a pack. Buying a pack adds credits to the same key. After that purchase you can create another key, and it spends the same balance. Five thousand reliable answers is enough to see how often reliable is true on your images. It is not a load test. A load test belongs on a pack you bought.
