Plan allowances and unit prices use Jev balance tokens. Each successful call deducts actual input tokens × the selected model’s rate. Output tokens are free.

Example: 1,000 input tokens on Clef use 6,000 balance tokens, or 6 credits when paid by credits. API calls use tokens first; the playground uses credits first. A request uses one balance, never both. Tool surcharges are listed separately.
Yes, to start. Eligible new accounts get 20 welcome credits with no card, and the same credits work in the playground and on the API. Jev itself is a paid, hosted model, so sustained use is billed by input tokens.

Details
Welcome credits
20 credits for eligible new accounts. No card is required to sign in.
Daily check-in
Extra gift credits each day you check in from the header. They expire a set number of days after each claim and are used before welcome credits.
Recorded examples
Tutorial and use-case pages replay saved Jev answers. Viewing them makes no live call and needs no account.
API keys
Creating, listing and revoking keys is free and does not run a model.
Output tokens
Never charged. Only input tokens are metered.
Failed runs
If a model fails, times out or cannot be reached, the reserved balance returns to your account.
How far 20 welcome credits go
Each model has its own credit charge per run. A run can ask several questions about one text and still counts once.

Credits or tokens: which pays first
Jev AI keeps two balances. Welcome and check-in gifts go to the Credit account. Purchases add input tokens to the Token account.
API calls use tokens first. If tokens cannot cover a request, the whole call is paid with the model’s credit charge.
The playground and web tools use credits first, then input tokens × the model rate.
A request never charges both accounts, and output tokens are free.
So a new account can create an API key and call the API on its welcome credits.
Free Jev FAQ
Is Jev free?+
Jev is a paid, hosted model, but you can try it free on Jev AI. Eligible new accounts receive 20 welcome credits, and a native Jev run costs 1 credit. Daily check-ins add more credits. After that you buy input tokens.
Is the Jev API free?+
There is no permanently free API tier, but welcome and check-in credits work on the API. An API call uses purchased input tokens first; with no tokens, the whole call is paid with the model’s credit charge, which is 1 credit for native Jev.
Do I need a credit card to try Jev?+
No. Signing in to Jev AI needs no password and no card. You only enter payment details if you choose to buy a plan or a token pack.
Do free credits expire?+
Daily check-in credits expire a set number of days after each claim; the check-in panel shows the date. They are spent before your welcome credits.
What happens when my credits run out?+
A request that neither credits nor tokens can cover fails with a 402 response and is not charged. Check in again the next day, or add input tokens with a plan or pack above.
Is the official TypeSafe Jev API free?+
TypeSafe sets its own prices and account terms, including any trial allowance, separately from Jev AI. Check TypeSafe’s pricing for its current terms. A purchase on Jev AI does not add balance to a TypeSafe account.
Is there a free, open-source Jev?+
TypeSafe has not released Jev’s weights, so there is no free download of Jev itself. Several open-weight models answer the same typed questions on hardware you run yourself; you pay for the GPU instead of per token.
Two accounts. Web uses credits first; API uses tokens first.
What is the Jev AI platform?+
Jev AI brings TypeSafe’s Jev models into one workspace for playground, batch processing, and API access. The platform is independently operated, with subscriptions, token balances, and customer support managed by Jev AI.
How is paid usage measured?+
Web tools use 1 credit per request, then input tokens if credits run out. API calls use input tokens first, then 1 credit if tokens are insufficient. A request never charges both accounts. Output tokens are free.
How do free gifts work?+
Welcome and daily check-in gifts enter your Credit account. Web tools use credits first. API calls use tokens first and only use credits when tokens are insufficient.
How does annual billing work?+
Pay once per year at 50% off twelve monthly payments. The full year of tokens is added upfront.
Do unused tokens expire?+
Unused paid tokens roll over. One-time token packs do not require a subscription.
What happens if a request fails?+
Failed requests are not charged. Any temporary balance hold is released automatically.
Can I cancel renewal?+
Yes. Manage Stripe or PayPal subscriptions from your account.
