Usage examples
A content creator generating a 5,000-word blog post with a 500-token prompt.
Cost calculation: (500 / 1,000,000) * 0.15 + (5000 / 1,000,000) * 0.50 = $0.000075 + $0.0025 = $0.002575.
A developer running a complex function-calling workflow with 20,000 input tokens and 4,000 output tokens.
Cost calculation: (20,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.15 + (4,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.50 = $0.003 + $0.002 = $0.005.
A researcher processing a large context window of 50,000 input tokens for 1,000 output tokens.
Cost calculation: (50,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.15 + (1,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.50 = $0.0075 + $0.0005 = $0.008.
Pay-per-token: No monthly subscriptions
Our pricing model charges strictly for token usage. You do not pay a recurring fee to keep your account active. The cost is calculated at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens. This structure ensures that idle usage incurs zero charges. Your prepaid balance deducts only when the API processes actual data. Errors and refusals do not consume your credit. This approach eliminates the risk of paying for unused capacity. You retain full control over your budget by topping up only when necessary.
Crypto top-up: USDT (TRC20) and USDC (Base)
We accept only cryptocurrency for credit top-ups. Specifically, we support USDT on the TRC20 network and USDC on the Base network. The minimum top-up amount is $20. You can add any whole dollar amount up to $500 per transaction. This method ensures fast processing and privacy. Your account balance updates immediately after the blockchain confirms the transaction.
Bonus credit structure: 5% to 15% bonuses
Higher top-up amounts yield proportional bonus credit. When you add $50, you receive a 5% bonus. A $100 top-up grants a 10% bonus. The maximum bonus of 15% applies to a $200 top-up. These bonuses are credited to your account immediately. They extend your usable balance without increasing your out-of-pocket cost. This tiered system rewards heavier usage patterns. You get more compute power for the same initial investment.
Free trial credit: $0.50 for new accounts
New accounts receive $0.50 of trial credit. This credit is valid for seven days from account creation. It allows you to verify the API functionality before committing to a top-up. The trial credit covers a specific amount of token usage. Once the $0.50 is exhausted or the seven days pass, the credit expires. You must top up with crypto to continue using the service.
Refund policy and error handling
Your prepaid credit does not expire. It remains available in your account until you decide to use it. Mistakes like double charges are handled through the Support page. Credits are not refunded as cash. Instead, we correct the balance in your account. This ensures your funds stay within our ecosystem. Errors during request processing do not deduct from your balance. You only pay for successful token generation.
