Setting up Kilo Code
When you sign up for Kilo Code, you'll receive $20 worth of tokens for free to help you get started. To claim your free tokens:
- Complete the registration process
- You should recieve $5 or $20 in free tokens to use immediately
- To recieve the full $20 for free, you need to enter your credit card (used for identity verification purposes)
To protect our community and ensure service quality, we temporarily place a $10 hold on your credit card during registration. This hold typically lasts about a week and will not be charged to your account. We've implemented this measure to prevent abuse of our free tier while ensuring legitimate users have the best possible experience. We're actively working to remove this limitation in the future.
Registration process
Kilo Code provides a simple registration process that gives you access to the latest frontier coding models with your Kilo Code login.
- Click on "Try Kilo Code for Free" in the extension
- Sign in with your Google account to kilocode.ai
