Free credits for agents, verified against official pages

This is the English edition of the Free Token Monitor. All 43 offers below were checked against vendor official pages; quota wording is transcribed from the vendor, with claim steps, reset times, requirements, and verification dates. Allowances can change or end at any time — check the official page before claiming.

Free allowances come in four shapes: long-term free tiers (no end date, rate-limited), signup credits (one-time, with an expiry), periodic resets (daily, weekly, or monthly), and limited-time campaigns (a fixed end date). Mixing them up is the most common source of confusion — see the free-tier types comparison.

This English edition is a curated first batch: 6 offer detail pages, 6 comparisons, and a combined FAQ. The full Chinese edition has 15 detail pages, 8 comparisons, and 3 guides — 中文版 (Chinese edition).

Beyond tokens: free VPS, VPS deals, and cheap VPS

Free VPS: 9 verified free cloud servers — 2 always-free, 5 trials, 1 students-only, 1 free sandbox.

VPS Deals: 6 live trial credits, task-renewal hosts, and sandbox credits, plus 1 historical promo archive. Deals are not free — expiry dates and risks are stated per entry.

Cheap VPS: 3 standing-price vendors from $21/year, with renewal prices stated, plus 1 sold-out watch.
