Usage examples
Long-context coding assistant
A developer sends a 20,000-token prompt and receives an 8,000-token code block. Cost: (20,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (8,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.003 + $0.004 = $0.007.
High-volume roleplay stream
A roleplay app processes a 50,000-token context window and generates 4,000 tokens of narrative. Cost: (50,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (4,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0075 + $0.002 = $0.0095.
Quick factual query
A simple 1,000-token prompt yields a 200-token response. Cost: (1,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (200 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.00015 + $0.0001 = $0.00025.
How prepaid credit works
Your balance deducts only for consumed tokens. Errors and refusals cost nothing. Credit never expires. Top-ups via crypto unlock bonus tiers. You control spend precisely.
Trial credit details
New accounts receive $0.50 for seven days. Test streaming, tools, and JSON mode. Use it to verify compatibility before committing funds.
Why prepaid keeps costs predictable
Subscriptions force you to pay for idle time. Prepaid billing aligns cost with usage. You only pay for what you process. No hidden monthly fees. No surprise overages. Predictable scaling for any app size.
