Most AI API providers only accept credit cards. That’s a problem if you’re a freelance developer, a student, or working from a country where international credit cards are hard to get. NovAI now accepts PayPal — the world’s most widely available payment method — so you can top up your API credits instantly and start building.
NovAI offers two flexible payment options. You can choose whichever is most convenient for you:
Pay with your PayPal balance, linked bank account, or credit/debit card through PayPal. Available in 200+ countries. Instant credit to your NovAI account.
Pay with Tether stablecoin on the TRON network. Ideal for crypto-native users. Automatic confirmation — no manual approval needed.
The entire process takes under 60 seconds:
Create a free NovAI account at aiapi-pro.com. Email + password, no credit card required.
In your dashboard, choose a preset amount ($5, $10, $20) or enter a custom amount from $1 to $500.
Choose PayPal as your payment method. The PayPal checkout button appears directly in the modal — no redirect needed.
Log in to PayPal, confirm the payment. Your NovAI balance updates instantly.
Even a small top-up goes a long way with NovAI’s pricing:
| Model | $5 Gets You | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| GLM-4.6V-Flash | Unlimited (free) | Testing, prototyping, light tasks |
| DeepSeek-v3.2 | ~25M input tokens | Coding, reasoning, analysis |
| Qwen-Plus | ~6.25M input tokens | Multilingual, instruction following |
| MiniMax-Text-01 | ~25M input tokens | Long documents (1M context) |
| DeepSeek-R1 | ~3.5M input tokens | Complex math & reasoning |
For most developers, $5 is enough for weeks of development and testing.
Credit card-only payment is one of the biggest barriers to AI API adoption worldwide. Here’s why PayPal support matters:
| Feature | PayPal | USDT (TRC20) |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | $1 | $5 |
| Maximum | $500 | No limit |
| Speed | Instant | ~1 minute |
| Needs wallet? | No | Yes (TRC20) |
| Available in | 200+ countries | Worldwide |
| Best for | Quick, small top-ups | Large amounts, privacy |
TL;DR: Use PayPal for convenience. Use USDT for larger amounts or if you prefer cryptocurrency.
Once your balance is topped up, you can start making API calls immediately:
# pip install openai
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="your-novai-api-key",
base_url="https://aiapi-pro.com/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v3.2",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a function to sort a linked list"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)The same API key works for all 8+ models. Just change the model parameter.
Create a free account, add credits with PayPal, and start building with DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, and more.
