+ 1 Tripo AI is a text-to-3D and image-to-3D model generation platform with an OpenAPI for developers. Every new account gets 2,000 free API credits the first time it generates an API key (worth $20 at the standard rate of $0.01 per credit). On top of that, the Basic web/Studio plan is free and includes 300 monthly credits for use inside Tripo Studio. Game developers building experiences for Tripo Game Hub can apply for an additional 5,000 credits ($50) during development and earn 10,000 credits ($100) automatically when their game passes review, with a lifetime cap of 5,000,000 credits.

+ 30 Important caveats:
No comments on this line yet.
+ 31 • The 2,000 free OpenAPI credits are a one-time grant per account, granted on first API-key creation — don’t generate keys before you’re ready.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 32 • No credit card is required to claim the 2,000 free credits or the 300/month Basic credits.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 33 • Game Hub credits are strictly for developing on Tripo Game Hub; the API key in your published game must match the one used during development. Misuse = permanent disqualification and credit removal.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 34 • Free Basic-plan output is public + CC BY 4.0. If you need private models or commercial rights, you must upgrade (Professional plan starts at $11.94/mo for 3,000 credits).
No comments on this line yet.
+ 35 • Free-tier OpenAPI concurrency is capped at 10 simultaneous Draft tasks and 5 simultaneous Refine tasks.

+ 91 The Game Hub Developer API Credits Program is open to anyone building a game that runs on Tripo Game Hub — there’s no specific revenue or studio-size threshold, but credits cannot be used outside the Game Hub ecosystem.

• Stack the freebies: sign up at both studio.tripo3d.ai (300/mo) and platform.tripo3d.ai (one-time 2,000), they’re separate credit pools — same account.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 104 • Don’t generate the API key until you’re ready — the 2,000 free OpenAPI credits drop the first time you create a key.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 105 • Top up small. $1 buys 100 credits. There’s no monthly minimum on the OpenAPI side, so you can stay pay-as-you-go.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 106 • Watch the license. If you ship anything commercial off Basic-plan output, you’re violating CC BY 4.0’s NoDerivatives-style restrictions Tripo applies on free output — use Professional+ or the OpenAPI for commercial work.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 107 • Use Drafts before Refines. Refine tasks burn significantly more credits and are concurrency-limited to 5 — iterate on cheap Drafts first.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 108 • Game devs: approval is manual but lightweight — a working prototype description on the form is usually enough to clear the first 5,000-credit grant.
