Hi Kilo team 👋
I’m testing Kilo Code for learning and got the $5 free credit.
I really liked it and wanted to continue exploring — is there any way to get additional free credits or a student/educational extension?
Thanks for your help

See pinned posts in #general channel, there's one there that points to a curated list of the inexpensive and free providers. (For free you usually need chain them, use up the daily quota with Qwen, then switch to Gemini, etc.)

And the person that does the list also added Provider routing you can use for this.
