Worked examples
Code review with long context
A developer processes a 30,000-token codebase and receives a 500-token review. Cost: (30,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25) + (500 / 1,000,000 * $1.00) = $0.0075 + $0.0005 = $0.008.
Content generation burst
Generating a 2,000-token article from a 1,000-token prompt. Cost: (1,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 * $1.00) = $0.00025 + $0.002 = $0.00225.
Heavy summarization
Summarizing a 60,000-token document into a 500-token output. Cost: (60,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25) + (500 / 1,000,000 * $1.00) = $0.015 + $0.0005 = $0.0155.
Per-Token Rates
Our pricing is simple: $0.25 per million input tokens and $1.00 per million output tokens. This applies to all requests via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You pay only for what you use, with no minimum spend or commitment. Input tokens include your prompt and system instructions; output tokens cover the model’s response. This structure ensures you know exactly what each request costs before you send it.
No Monthly Fees
Unlike many API providers, we do not charge monthly subscriptions or base fees. Your account balance is funded by prepaid credit. Once loaded, the credit remains valid indefinitely until used. If you stop using the API, you keep your balance for future projects. There are no expiration dates on your funds, and no recurring charges to maintain access.
Bonus Credits
We reward larger top-ups with bonus credit. Loading $50 or more gives you a 5% bonus. Loading $100 or more gives you a 10% bonus. These bonuses are added to your balance immediately and work exactly like your base credit. For example, a $100 top-up gives you $110 in usable credit. This reduces your effective cost per token for heavy users.
Payment Methods
You can top up your account using crypto (USDT or USDC). The minimum top-up amount is $10. Transactions are processed securely, and your balance updates instantly. We do not store your payment method after the initial top-up, reducing exposure risk. You can add funds as often as needed to keep your projects running without interruption.
Trial Credit
New accounts receive $0.50 in trial credit, valid for 7 days. No credit card or phone number is required to start. This allows you to test the uncensored Qwen model with real requests. The trial credit works exactly like paid credit, using the same per-token rates. After 7 days, any unused trial credit expires, but you can top up with real credit at any time.
Predictable Spend
Because we use a prepaid model, your spending is always capped by your balance. You cannot overspend, and there are no surprise charges at the end of the month. This is ideal for projects with strict budgets. You can monitor your usage via the API dashboard and add funds only when needed. This transparency makes financial planning for LLM integration straightforward and predictable.

No. Your prepaid credit never expires. It remains in your account indefinitely until you use it. This is true for both base credit and bonus credit from top-ups.
Can I use the API with a free tier?
We do not offer a free unlimited tier. New accounts receive $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days. After that, you must top up with real credit to continue using the API.
How do I add funds to my account?
You can top up your account using crypto (USDT or USDC). The minimum top-up amount is $10. Funds are added to your balance immediately after payment is confirmed.
Are there any hidden fees or monthly charges?
