A developer running a simple NSFW roleplay scenario with moderate context.
If you send 50,000 input tokens and receive 2,000 output tokens, the cost is (50,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.0075 + $0.001 = $0.0085.
We charge strictly by the token you actually use, so you pay for output, not for the privilege of waiting. This prepaid model eliminates monthly fees and ensures that errors or refusals cost you nothing.
No recurring plans. Prepaid credits do not expire.
If you send 50,000 input tokens and receive 2,000 output tokens, the cost is (50,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.0075 + $0.001 = $0.0085.
Processing 200,000 input tokens and generating 4,000 output tokens costs (200,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (4,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.03 + $0.002 = $0.032.
Sending 10,000 input tokens and receiving 1,000 output tokens costs (10,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (1,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.0015 + $0.0005 = $0.002.
Your balance decreases only when tokens are consumed. If a request fails or returns an error, those tokens are not charged. This means you never pay for wasted compute cycles. You can top up exactly when you need more, avoiding the surprise of a monthly bill that includes idle usage. Your credit never expires, so you can accumulate a larger balance for better efficiency.
Subscriptions lock you into a monthly fee regardless of whether you use the API. We prefer a prepaid model because it aligns cost directly with value. You only pay for the text generated. This approach is ideal for developers who have variable traffic patterns. You can scale up or down without worrying about overage charges or unused credits.
Your API key remains active, but requests will return an error until you add more funds. There is no grace period or partial service. You can add funds instantly via crypto. Since errors are free, you won't lose credit while waiting for a transaction to confirm. Your existing key continues to work for streaming and function calling once topped up.
No, your credit never expires. You can top up once and use the balance over months or years. This is useful for long-term projects where usage is sporadic. You only pay for what you consume, regardless of the time frame.
No, errors are free. If the server returns an error or the request times out, those tokens are not deducted from your prepaid credit. This protects you from paying for failed requests. You only pay for successful token generation.
We do not offer a subscription model. Our entire system is built on prepaid credit. This ensures transparency and prevents unexpected bills. You can always add more credit as your needs grow. There are no hidden fees or minimum monthly commitments.
You can check your balance directly in your account dashboard. The dashboard shows your current credit and usage history. You can also monitor token usage via the API response headers. This helps you plan your top-ups accurately.
