Does BurnCloud have a free tier?
No steady free tier; small promo vouchers appear occasionally (like a $1 voucher via support) — the site itself is authoritative.
BurnCloud: get an API key and write fiction with it on your phone
A New API-based mainland relay that prices each model across discount groups (28% / 50% / 75% / official-channel tiers), with a docs center that walks through wiring up most dev tools step by step. This page is the BYOK quick answer for BurnCloud: key steps, direct console and pricing links, and the app-side notes that matter. Verified 2026-07-18.
Two links up front: get your key at the official console and check rates on the official pricing page. Prices and free quotas move; the official pages are authoritative.
What does it power inside Foreverse?
The factory preset declares 1 modality flag for BurnCloud. The models actually available come from the live catalog fetched in-app — catalogs move fast, and the flag only means the protocol wiring is ready.

How do I get a BurnCloud API key?
- Sign up at ai.burncloud.com (the standard consumer endpoint; the business tier lives separately at b.burncloud.com).
- On the console's token page, create a token: name it, pick a model group, and optionally enable unlimited quota.
- Copy the sk- key; after topping up, usage bills at the discount multiplier of the group you picked.
Key in hand: three steps to connect
- Open the app's Settings → AI models & services and find BurnCloud in the list (one of 62 presets, with logo and search).
- Paste the key and tap the connectivity test — it fires one real request to verify key and network, and pulls back the model list while it's at it.
- Enable the models you want, then set per-modality defaults (text, image, speech, and video each get their own); continuation, chat, and listening route through them from then on.
The one universal host pitfall: the API host must include its full version prefix (this provider's exact form is in the notes below) — the app never appends /v1 for you.
BurnCloud-specific notes
The preset host is https://ai.burncloud.com/v1 (the standard consumer endpoint); the business site b.burncloud.com is a separate deployment and keys don't cross over. The group chosen at token creation decides both the callable models and the billing multiplier — if a model errors, check the key's group first.
FAQ
Where does the key live once I paste it into the app?
It's stored on your device only, under system-level encryption — never uploaded or synced to any Foreverse server. Requests go straight from your phone to the provider's official endpoint with zero markup. To revoke access, delete the key in the provider's console.
