Axon Cloud
The zero-config option. If you're logged in, Axon Cloud is already active — press * to
open the model palette, pick a model, and start a session. Nothing to install, no key to
paste.

Free credits
Every new account starts with free credits. That's enough to boot an agent, watch it call a tool, reason over the result, and answer — the whole loop — before you spend anything. No card required to reach it.
Topping up
When the free credits run low, add more from billing. Credits power
inference on the managed Axon() provider, plus Axon's own services — deployments,
voice, and speech-to-text. Nothing else draws on your balance.
Prefer to run on your own inference? Codex, OpenRouter, and Ollama all bill through your own accounts — Axon takes no cut, and you can leave the Cloud balance untouched.
