# Free trial for individual users of Nebius AI Cloud

The free trial offers new users of Nebius AI Cloud a quick way to try the platform before committing to paid usage. It's intended for solo developers, researchers and enthusiasts who want to run small experimental projects and validate ideas before scaling into production workloads.

## Who is eligible

* **Individual users only.** The trial is not available to companies. When you sign up and [set up billing](/signup-billing/sign-up#set-up-billing), you must choose to pay as an individual user.
* **First-time trial users only.** The trial can be activated only once per user. If you add a payment card that was previously used to activate a trial on any account, the trial will not be offered and you will need to use a different card.

## What you get

* **30 days** of access to the Nebius AI Cloud platform.
* **\$5 in credit** to spend on the resources of your choice.

Usage is suspended when the credit balance reaches \$0 or when the 30-day trial period ends, whichever comes first.

## Available regions

The trial is available only in the `eu-north1` [region](/overview/regions).

## Quotas

Certain Nebius AI Cloud resources have specific quotas for free trial users.

    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<Note>
  You can check all other quotas on the [Administration → Limits → Quotas](https://console.nebius.com/quota) page of the web console.
</Note>

## When the trial ends

At any time throughout the trial, you can decide how to proceed when the trial ends (your credit runs out or 30 days have passed):

1. **Stop all usage.** Deactivate any active resources. No further charges apply.
2. **Continue to paid usage.** Keep your resources running. The payment card you added for the trial will be charged \$25 for the initial top-up, and your existing resources continue to run under the [pay-as-you-go](/signup-billing/billing-models/payg) billing model. All quotas will be updated to their default values.

<Note>
  Make sure to stop or delete any resources you don't need before switching to paid usage to avoid being charged for idle capacity.
</Note>

## Example use cases

You can use the free trial to run small, low-friction experiments that fit within the \$5 credit and 30-day window.

### Run inference

Use a [Serverless AI endpoint](/serverless/quickstart/endpoints) to run inference for a model that is not a large language model (LLM), for example, video or image generation, or bring your own model.

### Fine-tune a model

Use a [Serverless AI job and Axolotl](/serverless/tutorials/fine-tuning) to fine-tune the [Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B) LLM.

### Test an idea

Use the [JupyterLab®](/applications/standalone/jupyterlab/index) application to quickly test an idea that requires heavy GPU computation without the need to set up infrastructure.
