What models are supported?

We support the latest and most capable models from all leading platforms, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and DeepSeek. Our system is designed to integrate new models within hours of their public release.

How does the credit system work?

Each plan comes with a set amount of monthly credits. Credits are consumed based on the token usage of the models you interact with. We bill in micro-credits to ensure you only pay for what you actually use.

How does the credit system translate to tokens?

Credits map directly to raw token consumption. For example, $10 of credits corresponds to roughly 1 million input tokens of GPT-4o, or up to 60 million input tokens on our open-source models. View the Benchmarks section for detailed conversion rates.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! Every new account automatically starts with a 7-day Developer plan trial at no cost — 200 credits included. You get full access to multi-model comparison, API key support, and cost visibility. After 7 days, choose Personal ($10/mo) or Developer ($20/mo) to continue.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Absolutely. You can manage your subscription through our billing portal and cancel at any time. Your credits will remains active until the end of your billing cycle.

FAQ

Do I need a credit card to get a Groq API key?

No — you can generate the key without a payment method, though usage limits stay low until you add one.

Can I see my Groq API key again after closing the page?

No — Groq shows the full key value exactly once. If you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.

Is this the same as an All AI Ask API key?

No. This page is about creating an API key with Groq directly, for calling their API yourself. For an All AI Ask key — one key that routes to Groq and every other provider we support — see /api-keys.
