Usage examples
Code generation with long context
You send a 50,000-token prompt and receive a 2,000-token response. Calculation: (50,000 / 1,000,000) * $0.15 + (2,000 / 1,000,000) * $0.50 = $0.0075 + $0.001 = $0.0085 per request.
Short chat completion
A 1,000-token input and a 500-token output. Calculation: (1,000 / 1,000,000) * $0.15 + (500 / 1,000,000) * $0.50 = $0.00015 + $0.00025 = $0.0004 per request.
High-volume streaming
Sending 10,000 input tokens and receiving 8,000 output tokens. Calculation: (10,000 / 1,000,000) * $0.15 + (8,000 / 1,000,000) * $0.50 = $0.0015 + $0.004 = $0.0055 per request.
Transparent Token Usage Rates
We bill only for tokens that successfully process. Your input costs $0.15 per million tokens, and your output costs $0.50 per million tokens. This flat rate applies to every request, whether you are streaming results or waiting for a full completion. You never pay for model routing or premium tiers.
Errors and refusals are free. If the API returns an error or the model refuses a request, you are not charged for those tokens. This protects your budget from unexpected spikes. We also include token counts in the final streaming chunk so you can verify billing instantly. Your prepaid balance decreases only when tokens are consumed.
Crypto Top-up & Bonus Credits
Top up your account using USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base). We accept whole amounts from $20 to $500. This keeps your payment simple and private. You can add any amount within that range to your account.
We reward larger top-ups with bonus credit. Adding $50 gives you a 5% bonus. Adding $100 gives you a 10% bonus. Adding $200 or more gives you a 15% bonus. Your bonus credit is added immediately. This reduces your effective cost per token. You can combine bonus credit with your base balance seamlessly.
Free Errors & Refusals
We do not charge you for failed requests. If your request hits a limit or returns an error, those tokens are free. This includes cases where the model refuses a prompt. You only pay for successful completions. This is crucial for high-volume apps where some requests might fail.
Our API returns token usage in the last streaming chunk. You can see exactly what was billed. Mistakes like double charges are fixed through our Support page. We do not deduct credit for errors. This ensures your balance reflects only actual usage. You can test freely without fear of wasting credits.
Trial Credit for New Accounts
New accounts receive $0.50 of trial credit. This credit is valid for 7 days. You can sign up with Google or an email and password. This lets you test the API immediately. You can run a few requests to verify compatibility.
The trial credit is one per person. It is not renewable. After the 7 days, your trial credit expires. You can then top up with crypto to continue. This is a low-friction way to verify our API works with your SDK. You can switch to a paid plan anytime.
No Subscription, No Expiration
We do not charge a monthly fee. You pay only for what you use. Your prepaid balance never expires. You can top up once and use it over months. This is ideal for indie hackers with variable traffic. You do not lose money if you go quiet.
You can manage your key easily. One active key per account. A new key replaces the old one. There are no complex plans to manage. Your credits are yours until you use them. This predictable spending model helps you budget accurately. You know exactly what each token costs.
