YepAPI: $5 signup balance for API tools; AI models require a first top-up
YepAPI’s authentication documentation gives new accounts a $5 balance, while explicitly stating that AI models unlock only after the first top-up. Its AI marketing page advertises a $5 no-card starting credit, so the narrower documentation restriction is retained here. The initial balance can be useful for its non-AI developer APIs; it is not unrestricted free LLM access.
How to claim this perk
Follow these steps through YepAPI.
Access: Direct application
- 1
Sign up at app.yepapi.com and confirm the initial balance.

For AI calls, inspect the required first top-up before paying; otherwise use eligible non-AI APIs within the free balance.
Who can apply?
