Free Claude API Key — $1.50 Test Bonus
Yes, you can try Claude API for free. Every new Claude Api.Tech account gets a $1.50 test bonus — no credit card, no KYC, no strings attached. Here's what you get and how it works.
What's included in the free bonus?
$1.50 of Anthropic-equivalent balance credited instantly after registration. Access to all Claude models: Fable 5, Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5. Both Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible API endpoints. Enough for hundreds of API calls to test your integration.
No $200/month subscription needed
Unlike Claude Pro or Claude Code subscriptions at $200/month, Claude Api.Tech uses pure usage-based pricing. You pay only for tokens consumed. The $1.50 bonus lets you verify everything works before committing any money.
Compatible with all tools
Your free API key works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Blackbox, VS Code extensions, and any SDK that supports the Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible format.
What happens after the bonus?
Top up with cryptocurrency anytime: $45 for $500 equivalent or $90 for $1,000 equivalent. Credits never expire. No auto-renewals, no hidden fees.
