Pricing and billing

Prepaid credit, pay as you go. Each request costs what the model’s price says, and the request log shows exactly what it counted.

Credit

• Add credit by card under Billing, from $10. It’s shared by every key in the workspace.
• Credit you buy doesn’t expire while your account is open.
• When the balance runs out, requests are refused with 402 insufficient_quota until you add more. The balance is checked before each request, so the last one can take it slightly below zero; the next top-up covers that.

What a request costs

Prices are on the models page. Each model’s own page shows the lab’s list price beside ours.

What’s free

• Failed requests, and requests refused by a key’s rules or the balance.
• Images a model declined, and failed videos.
• Listing models and counting tokens.
• The instructions we add to keep models answering as themselves: you’re only billed for what you send and receive.

A stream you cancel is billed for its input and the tokens generated up to that point. With smart routing, a request answered by an alternative is billed at the alternative’s price.

Where to see it

• The request log: every request with its model, tokens, cost and speed.
• Each API key’s spend today and this month on the API keys page.
• Your credit history and receipts under Billing.
