One rate per model. Prepaid.
You buy credit, requests draw it down at the metered rate, and at zero the
API answers 402 instead of quietly billing you. Credit is not
tied to a model: the same balance pays for anything on the roster. There is
no plan, no minimum and no monthly fee.
| What is billed | Rate | How it is counted |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.38 | Every prompt token the model had to read for the first time. |
| Cached input | $0.12 | Prompt tokens served from a cached prefix. Applied automatically — there is nothing to enable and no cache-write fee. |
| Output | $2.60 | Tokens the model generated, including reasoning tokens when thinking is on. |
| Per request | $0.00 | No request fee, no per-key fee, no minimum spend. |
Every response reports the exact token counts it billed, split into input,
cached input and output, in the standard usage field — in
streaming responses too. The same numbers appear in your console.
Work out your bill
no signup neededArithmetic only. Your bill is what the meter counted, with no rounding up to the nearest thousand tokens.

Credit does not expire and is not a subscription. Payment is handled by Paddle, which is the merchant of record and shows any sales tax or VAT for your country before you confirm. Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, depending on where you are.
Auto top-up, if you want it
Off by default. Turn it on and pick two numbers: the balance that triggers a top-up and the amount to buy. When your balance falls below the trigger, we charge the card you already used and add the credit — no email round trip, no interrupted job.
- Default trigger
- $5 remaining
- Default purchase
- $25 of credit
- Monthly ceiling
- You set it, default $200. We stop at the ceiling and email you rather than charging past it.
- If a charge fails
- Auto top-up switches itself off after two failures and emails you.
- Turning it off
- One click in the console, effective immediately.
Free trial credit
The first 100 accounts get $10 of credit on sign-up. No card, no expiry games.
- Who
- One grant per verified email address, first 100 accounts.
- Rate limit
- Trial credit runs at a lower rate than purchased credit. Limits are raised on request.
- Data use
- Prompts and completions sent on trial credit may be retained and used to improve our models. Paid credit is never used for training or evaluation unless you choose it — see the discount below. The full posture.
- Train on my prompts, 5% off
- One switch in the console: agree that your prompts may be used to improve our models and every credit purchase costs 5% less, first purchase included. Off by default, reversible at any time, and it stacks with the first-purchase discount.
- Refunds
- Trial credit has no cash value and is not refundable. Paid credit is — terms.
