Claude Code Is Free?

I tried Claude Code with Aerolink, 9Router, and Railway without paying upfront. Here’s how the setup works.

Claude Code is becoming one of the most useful tools for developers who want to work faster with AI directly from the terminal.

Recently, I tried a setup that allows me to use Claude Code through Aerolink and 9Router. In my case, after registering on Aerolink, my account was automatically placed on the Starter plan and I was able to use it without paying upfront.

I also tested it with Claude Opus through Claude Code, and it worked in my setup.

This article explains the basic flow:

Claude Code → 9Router → Aerolink → Claude model

1. Register on Aerolink

First, create an Aerolink account using this link:

After registering, my account was automatically assigned to the Starter plan.

The Starter plan shown in my dashboard included:

• 5-hour limit
• Weekly limit: $10
• Monthly limit: $70
• Usage rate: 1×
• Active plan status
• Expiry date shown in the dashboard
