# Different Types of API Keys and Rate Limits

> This page describes Cohere API rate limits for production and evaluation keys.

Cohere offers two kinds of API keys: evaluation keys (free but limited in usage), and production keys (paid and much less limited in usage). You can create a trial or production key on [the API keys page](https://dashboard.cohere.com/api-keys). For more details on pricing please see our [pricing docs](https://docs.cohere.com/v2/docs/how-does-cohere-pricing-work).

<Warning>
  Prod keys work like trial keys for newer model variants such as Command A Reasoning. Please contact 

  [sales@cohere.com](mailto:sales@cohere.com)

   if you intend to use those models in production.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Trial keys (and prod keys on newer Chat model variants) are limited to 1,000 API calls a month.
