Usage examples
Processing a 50,000 token legal document analysis
A legal team sends a 40,000 token prompt to analyze a contract and receives a 10,000 token summary. The input cost is 0.04 USD (40,000 * 0.15 / 1,000,000). The output cost is 0.05 USD (10,000 * 0.50 / 1,000,000). Total cost is 0.09 USD.
Running a 16,000 token creative writing session
A developer sends a 2,000 token prompt to generate a long chapter. The API returns the maximum 16,000 tokens. Input cost is 0.003 USD. Output cost is 0.08 USD. Total cost is 0.083 USD.
High-volume chatbot interactions
A user sends 5,000 tokens per message and gets 500 tokens back. Cost per message is 0.00125 USD (input) + 0.00025 USD (output) = 0.0015 USD. You can afford 666 messages for $1.00.
How Prepaid Credit Works
Your balance updates in real-time as tokens are consumed. Errors and refusals do not charge you, so you only pay for successful completions. This prepaid structure keeps your costs predictable and eliminates surprise bills.
Credit never expires, so you can top up once and use it whenever needed. You can monitor your usage directly in the dashboard to stay within budget.
Start with Free Trial Credit
Every new account receives $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days. This allows you to verify integration and performance before committing to a larger deposit.
The trial credit works exactly like paid credit, letting you test streaming, function calling, and JSON modes without any financial risk.
Why Prepaid Beats Subscriptions
Subscriptions often force you to pay for unused capacity or throttle your speed. Our prepaid model gives you full access to 300 requests per minute and 100,000 token context windows as long as you have credit.
You avoid the overhead of monthly billing cycles and can scale your spending directly with your usage. This is ideal for developers who want precise control over their API spend.
