Usage examples
A developer runs a daily summarization job processing 20,000 input tokens and receiving 4,000 output tokens.
Cost = (20,000/1,000,000)*0.15 + (4,000/1,000,000)*0.50 = $0.003 + $0.002 = $0.005 per run.
An application handles a complex reasoning task requiring 50,000 input tokens and 8,000 output tokens.
Cost = (50,000/1,000,000)*0.15 + (8,000/1,000,000)*0.50 = $0.0075 + $0.004 = $0.0115 per request.
A batch processing script processes 1,000,000 input tokens and 10,000 output tokens.
Cost = (1,000,000/1,000,000)*0.15 + (10,000/1,000,000)*0.50 = $0.15 + $0.005 = $0.155 total.
Per-Token Pricing Breakdown
Our pricing is simple: $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens. This transparent model ensures you know exactly what you pay for before you send a single request. We do not hide costs behind complex tiers or usage buckets. You only pay for the tokens processed in valid responses. Errors and refusals do not cost you extra credit. This approach keeps your API costs predictable and directly tied to your actual workload. No surprises at the end of the month. Your balance reflects exactly what your application consumes.
Prepaid Credit & Expiry
We use a prepaid credit system where your balance never expires. This eliminates the risk of losing access to your data or credits at the end of a billing cycle. You top up once and use the credit whenever you need it. There are no monthly subscription fees or dormant account charges. Your API key works immediately after signup. You can check your remaining balance at any time. This model is ideal for projects with variable traffic patterns. You avoid paying for idle time. Your credit sits there until you decide to use it.
Crypto Top-Up Bonuses
We offer bonus credit for larger top-ups to help you get more value from your API usage. You can top up with USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base). The minimum top-up is $20 and the maximum is $500. You receive a +5% bonus for amounts from $50, +10% for $100, and +15% for $200. These bonuses are added directly to your prepaid balance. This means you get more tokens for your money. The bonus is applied automatically during the top-up process. You can start using your API key immediately after topping up. No complex verification steps are required.
