💳 xAI AI Credits — Programs & Free Tiers

Browse current xAI credit programs, including Grok API free credits. Compare amounts, eligibility, and options to buy or sell unused credits on AI Credit Mart.

xAI’s main credit option today is the Grok API free-credit program: a one-time signup credit plus a recurring monthly credit if you opt into data sharing. It’s built for developers testing Grok models, teams running prototypes, and anyone budgeting API usage. This page tracks the active xAI programs and links to details. If you end up with credits you won’t use, AI Credit Mart helps you list them, or buy discounted credits from other teams.

💳 About xAI Credits

xAI is an AI provider focused on the Grok model family and developer API access via its console. The Grok API supports common SDK patterns similar to OpenAI and Anthropic, which reduces migration effort. Credits matter because inference costs can add up fast, especially when you move from lightweight models to flagship tiers for higher quality outputs and larger contexts.

What xAI credit programs are available?

Right now, the main xAI credit program is tied to the Grok API. New API accounts typically get a one-time promotional credit after signup, which is useful for quick evaluations, benchmarking, and early prototypes. There’s also an optional recurring monthly credit if your team opts into data sharing under xAI’s terms. That recurring credit is designed for sustained testing and ongoing development work. On this archive page, you’ll find the current xAI program we track, with a guide that covers eligibility, setup steps, and what to watch for when estimating usage.

Can I sell unused xAI credits?

Yes. If you have xAI credits you won’t use, you can list them on AI Credit Mart and sell to other builders who want cheaper API spend. Just follow the listing flow and include the key details buyers need.

How much discount can I get on xAI credits?

On AI Credit Mart, discounts on unused AI credits are commonly around 40% to 40%, depending on demand, remaining balance, and any transfer or redemption constraints. The best deals tend to go quickly, so it helps to check back when you’re planning a new build or load test.

How do I get the $150/month xAI Grok API credits, and what’s the catch?

You start by creating an xAI API account in the console, verifying your email, and generating an API key. New accounts generally see a one-time signup credit shortly after. The larger monthly credit requires opting into data sharing, and that choice is intended to be irreversible under the program terms, so read the fine print before enabling it. Once active, you can use the credits across the Grok model lineup, from cheaper “mini” tiers to higher-end models.
