What are credits used for?

Together credits are the unit used to measure and charge for usage of Together AI services on your account. Once purchased, credits can be used immediately for:
  • API requests
  • Dedicated endpoints
  • Fine-tuning jobs
  • Evaluation jobs
  • All other Together AI services
Note that you need sufficient balance to cover the costs of dedicated endpoint creation or fine-tuning/evaluation job creation.

Free trial and access requirements

Together AI does not currently offer free trials. Access to the Together platform requires a minimum $5 credit purchase. Together AI is fully prepaid. You need a positive credit balance to use the platform. Add credits from your billing settings before making API calls. If your balance reaches zero, API access is suspended until you add credits. Customers with an active Scale or Enterprise contract continue to be billed under their existing contract terms.

Auto-recharge credits

Together supports automatic credit purchases when your balance falls below a set threshold. When auto-recharge runs, your default payment method is charged in a single transaction to bring your balance up to your target. Auto-recharge and ACH: Auto-recharge is available only when your default payment method is a credit or debit card. If your default is a US bank account (ACH), auto-recharge is not available—even if you also have a card saved. If a card is your default, auto-recharge works normally even when ACH is also on file. Setting ACH as default turns auto-recharge off automatically. To enable auto-recharge:
  1. Go to your billing settings
  2. In the Auto-recharge panel, select Set thresholds (or Edit limits if auto-recharge is already configured)
  3. Enable automatic credit purchases and set:
    • When balance goes below: The balance at which auto-recharge is triggered
    • Bring credit balance up to: The target balance after auto-recharge runs. You are charged the amount needed to reach this target.
  4. Save your settings
Note: If you set a threshold above your current balance, auto-recharge triggers immediately with one purchase to bring your balance up to your target. Manual credit purchases also use your default payment method. See Payment methods & invoices for how to add methods and change the default.

Credit expiration

No, prepaid balance credits in your Together.ai account do not currently have an expiration date. You can use your credits at any time after purchase. If any changes to this policy are made in the future, Together.ai will notify customers in advance through official communications. At Together AI, we understand that everyone has their own circumstances and we want to make sure that none of our customers are ever put in a tricky situation as a result of an unexpected bill from us. To try and avoid such a situation, we offer usage based billing and credit packs, which are charged at the time of purchase. Important: Credits purchased after an invoice is generated cannot be used to clear previous invoices or past due balances. Past due balances must be paid separately using a valid payment method, regardless of your available credit balance. If you’re experiencing access issues with a positive balance, check whether your credits are free credits or purchased credits. Platform access requires the minimum $5 credit purchase described above.
