Pricing and Top-up
Stop overpaying for unused tokens. Our prepaid balance scales with your usage and never expires, so you only pay for the exact tokens you send and receive.
Cost estimator
Example calculations
A developer running a batch summarization job for 500 short articles.
Sending 250,000 input tokens and receiving 125,000 output tokens. The calculation is (250,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (125,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0375 + $0.0625. Total cost is exactly $0.10.
A power user testing creative writing with a long context window.
Pumping 80,000 input tokens into the model to generate a 4,000-token story. The math is (80,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (4,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.012 + $0.002. Total cost is $0.014.
An engineer running rapid-fire function calling tests.
Executing 2,000 requests with 500 input tokens and 100 output tokens each. Input cost is (2,000 * 500 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) = $0.15. Output cost is (2,000 * 100 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.10. Total cost is $0.25.
Pay-per-token: no monthly subscriptions
Our pricing model charges strictly for the tokens you actually process. You do not pay a flat monthly fee regardless of whether you make one request or ten thousand. The rate is $0.15 per 1 million input tokens and $0.50 per 1 million output tokens. This structure eliminates the risk of paying for idle capacity during quiet periods. Your prepaid credit covers these exact usage costs. Errors and refusals do not consume your balance. You retain full control over your spending limits. This approach works best for variable workloads where traffic spikes unpredictably.
Crypto top-up: USDT and USDC bonuses
We accept cryptocurrency for all top-ups to keep transaction fees low and processing instant. You can deposit USDT on the TRC20 network or USDC on the Base network. Minimum deposits start at $20 and go up to $500 per transaction. We reward larger commitments with bonus credit that never expires. Deposits of $50 receive a 5% bonus. Deposits of $100 get a 10% bonus. Deposits of $200 or more earn a 15% bonus. These bonuses are added to your balance immediately. There are no hidden fees or currency conversion charges.
Trial credit: $0.50 for new accounts
New users receive $0.50 in trial credit to test the API without entering payment details. This credit is valid for 7 days from account creation. You can use it to verify connectivity, test streaming, or run small batch jobs. You can sign up using Google or an email password. Once the trial expires or the balance runs out, you can top up with crypto to continue using the service. This allows you to evaluate performance before committing to a larger deposit.
Common questions
Does my prepaid credit expire?
No, your prepaid credit never expires. You can top up once and use the balance over months or years without losing funds. The only exception is the $0.50 trial credit, which is valid for 7 days. This policy ensures you only pay for what you use without time pressure.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept only crypto top-ups. You can deposit USDT on the TRC20 network or USDC on the Base network. Minimum deposits range from $20 to $500. This keeps transaction costs low and processing instant.
How are bonuses applied to my balance?
Bonuses are added automatically when you deposit specific amounts. A $50 deposit gets a 5% bonus. A $100 deposit gets a 10% bonus. A $200 deposit gets a 15% bonus. These bonuses are added to your main balance and never expire. You can use them for any request just like your base credit.
Do errors or refusals cost tokens?
No, errors and refusals are free. You only pay for tokens that are successfully processed and returned. If a request fails or is refused due to content filters, your balance remains unchanged. This protects your budget from unexpected API behavior.
