Trial & API Key
Your trial credits, how to track them, and how to add your own API key.
Trial credits
Every new Valarchi account includes $60 in Claude API credits — no credit card required. These credits are used when Valarchi calls Claude on your behalf to run artifact planning agents. Each agent invocation consumes some of your balance depending on the complexity and length of the content it processes.
Trial balance in your header
While you have an active trial, your remaining balance is always visible in the top navigation bar. You can always add your own API key to your account.
Tracking your usage
The Usage dashboard gives you a full breakdown of every AI call made on your account — which agent ran, which milestone it was for, how many tokens were consumed, and whether it used your trial credits or your own API key.
Bring your own API key
Add your own Anthropic API key in API settings page at so your workflow is uninterrupted. Your key is encrypted before it's saved and never shown again in Valarchi.
