Nace.AI gives new signups $25 in API credit for three months, usable on Drex and document tools
New Nace.AI accounts get $25 in API credit at signup, valid for three months and shared between the Drex decision model and the Document Intelligence tools. After that you get $5 every month, plus $5 for each friend you refer once they make a paid call.
The briefing
Nace.AI builds small specialized models for professional work like audit, accounting, and billing. It just open-sourced the Drex 1.5 decision model and moved its Document Intelligence tools into the Console, and every new account gets free credit to try them.
What you get
Each new account receives $25 in credit automatically when it's created. It expires three months after signup, and anything unused is gone after that.
Starting one month after signup, you also get $5 every month. Each monthly credit is replaced by the next one, so it doesn't roll over. When a friend you invite makes a paid call, you get another $5, valid for one month.
The signup credit is granted once per mailbox, and accounts on disposable email domains don't get it. Large providers such as Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud aren't subject to the per-domain limit.
What you can use
Drex and Document Intelligence share the same API key and the same credit.
Drex 1.5 is a decision model with under 10B parameters and 128K context. Instead of generating text, it returns a probability for every option of your yes/no, multiple-choice, or score questions in one pass, which suits routing, classification, and policy checks over long documents. Only input tokens are billed, at $0.05 per million, and output is free, so $25 covers roughly 500 million input tokens.
Document Intelligence offers five tools (parse, split, classify, extract, and ground) across 36 file types, and every extracted value points back to the page it came from.
How to claim
- Open the Nace Console and sign up with Google, GitHub, or email. The credit lands when the account is created.
- Create a key on the API Keys page and call
drex-v1.5following the quickstart, or try it first in the Playground. - Drex weights are open on Hugging Face if you'd rather run it yourself.
