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 the ability to automatically purchase additional credits if your account balance falls below a set threshold. To enable this feature, follow these steps:
  1. Log into your account by visiting api.together.ai/settings/billing.
  2. Select “Add Credits”.
  3. Set the following options:
    • Auto-recharge amount: The amount of credits to purchase (default $25).
    • Auto-recharge threshold: The account balance at which auto-recharge is triggered.
Note: If you set a threshold above your current balance, auto-recharge will trigger immediately, purchasing credits in increments of your top-up amount until the threshold is met. This may result in multiple purchases if the gap is larger than the top-up amount.

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.
