Understanding Deepseek Access for New AI Accounts

·Jul 08, 2025 03:26 AM·

Why can my friend's new account use Deepseek when using AI, even though it's not his own API? However, after my account passed the free trial period, I didn't choose Deepseek？

Your friend's new account likely has access to our 14-day free Pro trial, which includes 1000 credits and access to most Pro Plan features. After your free trial ended, your account was downgraded to the Free Plan, which has limited AI model access through our Clay-managed accounts. The Free Plan includes access to AI features, but specific model availability may be restricted. To access more AI models like Deepseek, you'd need to upgrade to a paid plan (Starter or higher) which allows you to use your own API keys for different AI providers. With your own API keys, you can access various AI models beyond what's available through Clay-managed accounts.
