Novita AI promo code and free credits

Is there a Novita AI promo code?

No. None of the Novita pages we read lists a public code, and sign-up has no field for one. The only place a code goes is a voucher form on the billing page, for codes Novita issues; its text says: “Use this form only if you have a voucher code.” No page says who receives those codes.

Codes on coupon sites come from lists Novita does not publish.

Novita AI referral and invite codes: the scheme has ended

Novita launched its user referral scheme on 14 February 2025 (Novita changelog).

At launch it gave each person $20 of DeepSeek API credits. Its last terms, still in the referral page’s title, offered $10 of LLM API credit to each person, up to $500 per user.

Today the referral page opens a “Referral Ended” window that cannot be closed.

So the codes in 2025 posts, and their dev.to copies, belong to a scheme that has ended.

What a new Novita AI account gets

Agent Sandbox is Novita’s service of small, isolated cloud computers where AI agents run code. It bills by CPU, memory (RAM) and storage. The sign-up credit, valid for 90 days, belongs to it.

Novita says the credit is “applied to eligible sandbox usage first, including CPU, RAM, and billable storage” (sandbox FAQ).

The billing page labels it a “Sandbox voucher”.

Novita’s sandbox docs add that “Model calls made by an agent inside the sandbox are billed separately”. No Novita page says the credit pays for GPU hours or the H3 video API. None says whether credit left after sandbox use pays for anything else.

GPUs and the model APIs have no free plan; any credit for them comes through the routes in the table above. Novita’s terms, section 8, say “All fees are non-refundable”, unused credits included. They state no expiry for a paid balance; each voucher’s own expiry date shows in the console.

How to claim the credit and redeem a Novita AI voucher code

Novita’s docs give the order:

1. Sign up on the Novita sign-up page with Google, GitHub, Hugging Face or an email address.
2. Complete the account set-up survey. The credit arrives once it is done.
3. Open the Payments page to see your balance and vouchers.
4. If Novita gave you a code, enter it under “Add a Voucher Code” on the billing voucher page.

You never apply a voucher by hand. Novita’s billing page lists the charge order: “Coding Plan > Voucher > Account balance > Credit limit.”

What a first top-up buys on Novita’s GPUs and H3 API

Novita’s billing page accepts a top-up of exactly $10, while its payment docs say a top-up “must be greater than” that amount (payment methods). Each divides the top-up by a list rate on Novita’s pricing pages.

An RTX 4090 on demand costs $0.33 an hour, so the top-up buys about 30 h 18 min (10 ÷ 0.33). On an RTX 5090 at $0.56 an hour, it buys about 17 h 51 min (10 ÷ 0.56).

A spot GPU is the same card at a lower rate, and Novita can take it back mid-job. The GPU page’s table lists a spot RTX 4090 at $0.17 an hour, so the top-up buys about 58 h 49 min (10 ÷ 0.17).

The H3 video API bills $0.08 per second of video at 768P (pricing). One five-second clip costs $0.40, so the top-up pays for 25 clips (10 ÷ 0.40).

Every card’s rate sits in Novita AI pricing and the cloud GPU price table. Runpod’s one-time sign-up bonus is in the Runpod referral code guide. The two clouds meet in Novita vs Runpod.

Novita AI startup program: who qualifies and what the credits take

Novita’s startup programme takes three criteria: “Venture-backed and Series B or earlier.”, “AI-native product or platform.” and “New Novita user.”

It splits the credit into up to $5,000 for Agent Sandbox and up to $5,000 for the model APIs. No GPU credit is named.

Only the first $1,000 arrives upfront. The next $5,000 is matched one to one, so it takes $5,000 of spend. The last $4,000 pays one dollar for every two spent, so it takes $8,000.

On the FAQ’s wording, the full amount takes $13,000 of your own spending, and “These credits can be redeemed for one year.” The FAQ does not say whether spending earned credit counts, or by when the spending must happen.

Does a partner link change what you get?

No. Novita’s affiliate programme page names no benefit for the person who signs up through a partner link. Through a link or not, the Agent Sandbox credit is the one every new account can claim.
