When you’re deep in a session in Google AI Studio — testing complex prompts with frontier models like gemini-4-carbon, generating videos with Omni, or building an app — you shouldn’t have to bounce across three websites just to set up billing and claim credits when you hit a quota limit.
Starting today, you can claim and manage free API credits directly inside AI Studio. That means you can create your Developer Program profile, link billing, and track your balance, all without leaving your workspace.
If you’re a Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra subscriber, your membership already comes with recurring monthly Google Cloud credits through the Google Developer Program.
The Google Developer Program is a no-cost membership unifying tools, learning paths, and perks across AI Studio, Google Cloud, Firebase, Android, and more. An active profile is required for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers to access developer benefits like monthly Google Cloud credits, higher Google Antigravity quotas, and Google Skills credits. If you don’t have a profile, the new workflow in AI Studio automatically creates one when you redeem your credits.
