Monthly free credits
What “free” means here From the provider's documentation
- Free accounts get $0.10 in Inference Providers credits per month (subject to change); PRO accounts get $2.00.
- After credits run out, you can keep going by buying credits. Hugging Face passes provider prices through without markup.
- Credits only apply to requests routed by Hugging Face, not to your own provider keys.
