AI credits — buy or sell any provider through AI Credit Mart

Everything you need to know about AI credits

What AI credits are, how they work across different providers, and how you can buy them below retail or sell unused credits for cash through AI Credit Mart.


AI credits explained
What are AI credits?

AI credits are prepaid balances used to pay for artificial intelligence services — API calls, model inference, fine-tuning, embeddings, cloud compute, and more. Every major AI and cloud provider sells credits: OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud all use a credit-based billing model where you prepay and consume as you go.

Companies and individuals acquire AI credits through direct purchases, startup grants, enterprise agreements, accelerator programs, and promotional offers. The credits are tied to a specific provider account and almost always have an expiry date — meaning unused credits lose their value over time.

The problem? AI adoption is unpredictable. Companies over-commit, startups pivot, projects get shelved, and grants go unused. Billions of dollars in AI credits expire every year. That’s where AI Credit Mart comes in — we’re a broker that connects sellers with unused AI credits to buyers who want AI and cloud capacity at below-retail pricing. Any provider, any size, companies and individuals.

Why credits go unused
The most common reasons AI credits expire
🔄

Stack changes

A startup receives Azure credits but builds on AWS. A company gets OpenAI grants but switches to Claude. When your tech stack moves, credits from the old provider go to waste.

📉

Slower AI adoption

Companies buy credits expecting rapid AI rollout, but implementation takes longer than planned. The credits sit unused while expiry dates approach.

📋

Over-commitment

Enterprise agreements and committed use contracts require committing to a minimum spend. When actual usage falls short, the gap becomes surplus credits.

🚀

Startup pivots

Startups receive cloud and AI grants from multiple providers, then pivot their product or business model. The original credits no longer align with their needs.

📊

Project cancellation

A team buys credits for a specific AI project. The project gets shelved or deprioritised. The credits remain allocated but nobody uses them.

👤

Individual experimentation

Developers buy API credits to experiment with AI, attend hackathons, or build side projects. When the experiment ends, leftover credits go unused.

FAQ
Common questions about AI credits
What are AI credits?

+

AI credits are prepaid balances used to pay for AI and cloud services. Every major provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud — uses a credit-based billing model. You prepay, and credits get consumed as you use API calls, compute, storage, and other services.

Which providers does AI Credit Mart support?

+

We actively broker credits for Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud (GCP), OpenAI, and Anthropic (Claude). We also handle Databricks, Snowflake, and other platforms on a case-by-case basis.

Do AI credits expire?

+

Yes. Almost all AI credits have an expiry date. Timeframes vary by provider and credit type — typically 3 months to 3 years. Once expired, credits are lost permanently. That’s why selling unused credits before expiry makes financial sense.

Is it legal to buy or sell AI credits?

+

Yes. While credits can’t be directly transferred on most platforms, value can be moved through legitimate business mechanisms — sub-contracting, reseller arrangements, organisation management, and managed service structures. AI Credit Mart only uses methods that comply with each provider’s terms.

Will my provider know?

+

No. We never contact any provider or disclose identities. The transfer mechanisms we use are standard business arrangements that don’t trigger notifications. Your relationship with your provider stays completely intact.

Can individuals buy or sell, or only companies?

+

Both. We work with enterprises, startups, agencies, solo developers, and individual account holders. Whether you have $500 in leftover API credits or $500k in enterprise commitments, the process is the same.

How much can I save or recover?

+

Every deal is different. Pricing depends on provider, credit type, amount, expiry, and current supply and demand. Tell us what you need and we’ll come back within 24 hours with a specific offer — no obligation.

How fast is the process?

+

Most transactions complete within days. API credit transfers are typically fastest. Larger commitments or restructuring can take slightly longer depending on the provider and transfer mechanism.

What’s the difference between AI credits and cloud credits?

+

Cloud credits (Azure, AWS, GCP) cover a broad range of infrastructure services — compute, storage, networking, databases, and AI. AI-specific credits (OpenAI, Anthropic) are focused on AI products — API calls, model inference, fine-tuning. AI Credit Mart handles both.
