AI credits and your free trial
Updated Sep 21, 2026 · 4 min read
Your 14-day free trial starts with $10 in AI credits, and milestones can take you to over $300. What credits pay for, how to earn more, and what they never gate.
Every new Senpi account starts a 14-day free trial with $10 in AI credits, added the moment you deploy your agent. From there you can earn over $300 in AI credits in total by hitting milestones: creating your first strategy, taking your first plan, and trading.

What credits actually pay for
Credits cover what your agent spends thinking: reading the market, running analysis, answering you in chat and making decisions. A strategy that is already running does not spend credits. Anything you ask your agent to repeat on a schedule does, each time it runs.
Credits are not trading capital
You cannot trade with credits and you cannot withdraw them. They pay for the agent's thinking, nothing else. Funding your account with USDC is a separate step - see Funding, deposits and withdrawals.
Option A
AI credits
- $10 when you deploy your agent, plus what you earn from milestones
- Pay for the agent reading the market, running analysis and making decisions
- Cannot be traded
- Cannot be withdrawn
Option B
Your USDC
- Deposited by you, in the amount you choose
- The capital your agent actually trades with
- Yours to withdraw
- Never spent on AI usage
- Does not expire
VerdictTwo separate balances. A full credit balance does not fund a trade, and a funded account does not pay for AI usage.
How to earn over $300 in AI credits
Milestones pay out automatically as you reach them. You can follow your progress on the Unlock Free AI Credits card in Settings, under Subscription.
| Milestone | AI credits |
|---|---|
| Deploy your agent | $10 |
| Create a strategy (your first strategy goes live) | $5 |
| Take your first paid plan | $15 |
| Reach $2K in trading volume | $10 |
| Reach $25K in trading volume | $10 |
| Reach $50K in trading volume | $10 |
| Reach $100K in trading volume | $20 |
| Reach $250K in trading volume | $30 |
| Reach $500K in trading volume | $50 |
| Reach $1M in trading volume | $50 |
| Reach $2M in trading volume | $50 |
| Reach $4M in trading volume | $50 |
- Trading volume is the notional value of your executed trades. Never trade more, or with more leverage, than you intended just to reach a milestone.
- Milestones count from the day each one launched. Activity from before a milestone existed does not count toward it.
- Volume milestones update periodically, so credits can take a little while to appear after you cross a threshold.
When your free trial ends
Your free trial runs for 14 days from when you deploy your agent, and it ends sooner if your AI credits run out. Milestone credits you earn along the way add to your balance, so they keep your agent running for the rest of the trial. To keep your agent working after the trial, choose a paid plan.
| Plan | Price | AI credits included |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $25/mo | $25 |
| Pro | $50/mo | $50 |
| Advanced | $100/mo | $130 |
| Quant | $200/mo | $270 |
Need more credits? Top up
On a paid plan you can buy extra AI credits on the web whenever you need them, by card or crypto. Bigger packs include bonus credits.
| You pay | AI credits |
|---|---|
| $25 | $25 |
| $50 | $55 |
| $100 | $115 |
| $250 | $300 |
- Top-ups need an active plan. Your plan's credits are used first, then your oldest top-up.
- If your plan lapses, you cannot use top-up credits until you subscribe again.
- Plans and top-ups are bought on the web for now, not in the mobile app.
Where to see your credits
Your balance and your milestone progress are in Settings, under Subscription. On the web, the meter in the header shows how much you have left as you go.
Credits are discretionary
Free credits can be removed
Free AI credits are discretionary. Senpi may remove them if an agent is used for topics unrelated to trading on Senpi.
Credits gate the AI, never your money
Your credit balance controls how much thinking your agent can do. It does not control your funds. Whatever your balance says, and whether or not your trial has ended, your credit balance does not gate any of this:
- Closing a position.
- Withdrawing funds.
- Transferring between your wallets.
Running out of credits quiets the agent. It is not what stands between you and your money.
If you were told $25 or $100
Earlier offers were different. Waitlist accounts were given $100, and a later offer was $25. Today every new account starts with $10 in AI credits when it deploys its agent and can earn over $300 in total through milestones, so a starting balance of $10 is working as intended.
If something else looks wrong - a milestone you have reached that still shows as locked, or credits that never appeared after you deployed - open the chat widget on senpi.ai and the team will check your account.
Key takeaways
- Your 14-day free trial starts with $10 in AI credits when you deploy your agent.
- Milestones add more, for over $300 in AI credits in total.
- Credits pay for the agent's thinking. They are not trading capital and cannot be withdrawn.
- After the trial, a paid plan keeps your agent working, and top-ups add more when you need them.
- Closing, withdrawing and transferring are never gated by your credit balance.
