Usage examples
Processing a long technical document with a simple summary request.
If you send 50,000 input tokens and receive 1,000 output tokens, the cost is (50,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.15 + (1,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.50 = $0.0075 + $0.0005 = $0.008. You pay less than one cent for this operation.
Running a complex reasoning task with high token output.
For a request using 200,000 input tokens and generating 8,000 output tokens, the calculation is (200,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.15 + (8,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.50 = $0.03 + $0.004 = $0.034. The total cost is 3.4 cents.
High-volume batch processing of short prompts.
If you send 10 requests, each with 1,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens, the total input is 10,000 tokens and total output is 5,000 tokens. The cost is (10,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.15 + (5,000 / 1,000,000) * 0.50 = $0.0015 + $0.0025 = $0.004. You spend just four tenths of a cent.
How prepaid credit works
Our billing system tracks your usage in real time and deducts costs from your account balance. You add funds once, and the credit remains available indefinitely. Errors do not consume tokens, so you only pay for successful responses. This model eliminates surprise bills and keeps your operational costs predictable. You can monitor your exact token consumption through our API responses.
Why prepaid balances are better
Since your credit never expires, you can top up when convenient and use it at your own pace. This approach is ideal for developers who want to control their spending precisely. You avoid the overhead of monthly subscriptions that charge you even if you do not use the API. It is a transparent, straightforward way to fund your LLM usage.Trial credit details
New accounts receive $0.50 of trial credit to test the API immediately. This trial lasts for seven days and allows you to verify the uncensored model's performance. It is sufficient to process several thousand tokens. After the trial expires or the balance is used, you can top up with crypto to continue. This is a risk-free way to evaluate the service.
