Usage examples

A long-form roleplay session generating 12,000 tokens from a 50,000 token prompt.

Cost = (50,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (12,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0075 + $0.006 = $0.0135.

A data analysis pipeline processing 200,000 input tokens for structured JSON output.

Cost = (200,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (10,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.03 + $0.005 = $0.035.

A rapid-fire chatbot handling 500 small queries with 500 input and 100 output tokens each.

Cost = (250,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (50,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0375 + $0.025 = $0.0625.

How Prepaid Credit Works

You fund your account once and the balance deducts automatically as you consume tokens. Errors and refusals do not charge your balance, so you only pay for successful responses. This prepaid balance keeps your spend predictable because you always know exactly how many requests you can make before topping up again.

Trial Credit Details

New accounts receive $0.50 of trial credit that lasts for seven days. This allows you to verify the model fits your workflow before committing to a crypto top-up.

Why Prepaid Beats Subscriptions

Subscriptions force you to pay for idle capacity even when your app is quiet. Our model scales with your actual usage, preventing wasted budget on unused quotas. You can top up from $20 to $500 using crypto, and the credit never expires, giving you flexibility to pause development without losing funds.

Frequently asked questions

Does the API ia pricing include hidden fees for streaming or retries?

No, you only pay for the input and output tokens that are successfully generated. Streaming and retries are covered by the same token counts, and errors are free.

How do I top up my prepaid balance?

You can add funds using USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base) for any whole amount between $20 and $500. Larger amounts receive bonus credit, such as +10% for a $100 top-up.

What happens to my credit if I stop using the API?

Your prepaid credit never expires, so you can pause your projects and return later without losing your balance. This makes it ideal for developers testing new ideas or building seasonal applications.

Is the trial credit valid for all endpoints?

Yes, the $0.50 trial credit works for both POST /v1/chat/completions and GET /v1/models.
