What Is Included in the Free Tier?
PredictEngine's free tier gives you 1,500 creditsupon registration with no credit card required. These credits cover AI strategy generation, bot execution, market scanning, and all compute-intensive operations. You get full access to the platform's core features including the AI Builder, simulation mode, news feed, and leaderboard.
The free tier is designed to give you a complete experience of the platform. You can generate strategies with the AI Builder, test them in simulation mode, analyze markets with the news feed, and even deploy live trading bots — all within your 1,500 credit allocation. Most users find this sufficient for several weeks of active use.
How Credits Work
Credits are consumed by compute-intensive operations. AI strategy generation uses the most credits (approximately 50-100 per generation depending on complexity). Bot execution consumes credits based on scan frequency and the number of markets monitored. Simulation and live bots use credits at the same rate.
Your credit balance is displayed in the dashboard header and updates in real-time. When credits run low, PredictEngine sends a notification. Once credits are exhausted, bots pause automatically and can be resumed after purchasing additional credits. You can monitor your credit usage history to understand which operations consume the most.
Free Tier Feature Access
Free tier users have access to: AI Builder (unlimited strategy editing, credit-based generation), simulation mode (test strategies with virtual funds), news feed (AI-curated market intelligence), whale tracker (real-time large trade alerts), leaderboard (public rankings and opt-in), and Telegram bot (trade notifications).
The only features exclusive to paid tiers are elevated rate limits, priority API access, advanced analytics dashboards, and higher concurrent bot limits. Core trading functionality — including live trading with real USDC — is fully available on the free tier within your credit allocation.
Maximizing Your Free Credits
To get the most from your 1,500 credits, start with simulation mode to validate strategies before spending credits on live bot execution. Refine your strategy description carefully before submitting to the AI Builder to minimize regeneration costs. Use the marketplace to find pre-built strategies instead of generating new ones.
Focus on single-market bots initially, which consume fewer scanning credits than multi-market bots. Run bots during peak market hours when trading opportunities are most frequent, and pause them during low-activity periods. These optimizations can stretch your free credits to cover weeks of productive trading.
