LlamaCloud Free Credits

Up to $10 in credits

Some apply links may be affiliate. See our policy.

10,000 free credits toward document parsing, extraction, and indexing—enough to process thousands of PDFs and unstructured files.

LlamaCloud gives you 10,000 credits to build document intelligence into your product without paying upfront. You get LlamaParse (converts messy PDFs into clean structured data), LlamaExtract (pulls specific fields from documents), and LlamaIndex (builds searchable knowledge bases). Handles 50+ file formats, includes human review workflows, confidence scoring, and embeddings ready for RAG. The catch: credits are tied to your account and don't transfer; you'll need to prove active development to renew. Best for founders building AI agents or search products that ingest documents as a core feature.
