> Moonshot AI
Official Moonshot AI developer platform for Kimi models. Offers pay-as-you-go access to Kimi K3, K2.7-Code, and K2.6 over an OpenAI-compatible API. One-off trial credits available upon verification. Details were checked against the provider's own page at platform.moonshot.cn.
// pros
- First-party official platform, not a relay; no risk of stolen upstream keys, stable and compliant
- OpenAI-compatible HTTP API; just change base_url to https://api.moonshot.cn/v1 to use existing SDKs
- New users get a RMB 15 (≈$2.23) voucher for prototyping and trials, no credit card (phone verification only)
- Kimi/K2 family performs well on long context and Chinese scenarios, with strong value for its class
// cons
- Free is only a one-time RMB 15 (≈$2.23) trial voucher (about 30-day validity), not a persistent free quota; once used it becomes pay-as-you-go
- The voucher has usage restrictions (cannot be used for newer models like K3)
- Registration requires a mainland China phone number, raising the barrier for overseas users
- Essentially a paid API platform with limited free component
Recorded as first-party-free: the free trial layer of Moonshot AI's official paid API platform. Good for claiming the RMB 15 (≈$2.23) voucher to trial the Kimi/K2 family for prototyping; note it is a one-time time-limited voucher, not a persistent free quota, and long-term use is paid. Informational only, not an endorsement.
community_reputation
Official docs and multiple CSDN/tech blogs consistently confirm: RMB 15 (≈$2.23) voucher on signup, OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and generatable API keys. As Moonshot AI's own official platform it is legitimate and trustworthy, with no runaway or stolen-key discussions; the main limitation is that the free portion is only a one-time trial voucher with validity and model restrictions.
imported analysis — independent third party, not Uprouter editorial · verify before relying on it
How we estimated this: the free allowance is converted to a dollar value using the provider’s own pay-as-you-go rates for the models a typical developer would reach for. When the allowance is metered in requests, tokens or minutes rather than dollars, we assume median usage of the cheapest capable model. Because assumptions are involved, the figure carries the est. flag — treat it as an order of magnitude, not a quote.
note: After phone-number verification, new users automatically receive a RMB 15 (≈$2.23) trial voucher credited to their balance, usable directly to offset API call costs; the voucher typically has a 30-day validity and cannot be used for the latest models such as K3. Once used up or expired, it converts to pay-as-you-go.

$ Does Moonshot AI have a free tier?
Yes — Moonshot AI offers a free tier that we value at roughly $2.23 in free credits (estimate — derived from rate-limited usage at pay-as-you-go prices). Always confirm current limits on Moonshot AI's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does Moonshot AI cost per 1M tokens?
Moonshot AI does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is Moonshot AI safe to use?
Uprouter rates Moonshot AI as low risk. Rated low risk. an official provider with a free tier with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
$ Can I use Moonshot AI through Uprouter Connect?
Yes — Moonshot AI is Connect-compatible. Add your Moonshot AI API key in Uprouter Connect (encrypted at rest) and route requests to it through one OpenAI- and Claude-compatible API, optionally behind failover aliases. Uprouter meters the traffic in compute at the provider's listed rate.

risk_&_confidence
Rated low risk. an official provider with a free tier with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest.
Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
