Do I need to pay anything extra to make ClipAI work?

No. You don't need to buy anything to use ClipAI: you don't even need to top up the API balance of a neural network service (for example, ChatGPT or Deepseek). You don't even need to register an account on any of these services. This is one of main advantages of this program.

In order to achieve work without "consumables", we have customized and improved Google Gemini versions 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash so that their quality when writing articles reaches, and sometimes even was superior to GPT-5. Both of these versions are completely free, without any permanent restrictions and the need to top up the balance.

All you need to do to make them work is run ClipAISelect one of the above models (we recommend Gemini-2.5-Flash) in the "Parameters" tab of the input settings. The field for entering the API key can be left blank.

Need other neural networks? ClipAI supports completely free work with them as well (including with GPT). You will only need to register an account once, completely free of charge in the corresponding service. Read more - ­here.
