Worked examples

Short-form creative writing

A 1,000-token prompt generating a 500-token story costs: (1,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25) + (500 / 1,000,000 * $1.00) = $0.00025 + $0.00050 = $0.00075.

Medium-length code analysis

A 10,000-token prompt generating 2,000 tokens of analysis costs: (10,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 * $1.00) = $0.00250 + $0.00200 = $0.00450.

Large context document summary

A 50,000-token prompt generating 1,000 tokens of summary costs: (50,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25) + (1,000 / 1,000,000 * $1.00) = $0.01250 + $0.00100 = $0.01350.

Simple Token-Based Rates

We charge strictly by token volume. Input tokens cost $0.25 per million, and output tokens cost $1.00 per million. This structure reflects the computational cost of processing your request and generating the response. You only pay for what you use, making it easy to forecast costs for any workload.

Prepaid Credit & Bonuses

Add funds via crypto (USDT or USDC) starting at $10. We offer bonus credits on larger deposits: +5% for $50+ and +10% for $100+. These bonus credits are added to your total balance and are used exactly like your base credits. There is no specific order of consumption; the system simply deducts from your total available balance until it reaches zero.

No Subscription, No Expiration

Our claude api pricing model is purely pay-as-you-go. There are no monthly fees or required commitments. Crucially, your paid credit never expires, so you can top up when convenient. Every new account also receives $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days, with no credit card required to start.

Plan details

Questions and answers

Do you use my prompts for training?

No. We do not use your prompts or outputs to train our models. Your data remains yours, and we do not repurpose it for other purposes.

How does the prepaid balance work?

You load funds into your account, and those funds cover your usage. Your balance decreases as you consume tokens. Bonus credits are added to this total balance and are consumed alongside your base credits without a specific order.

What is the context window size?

Our model supports a 100,000-token context window, covering both the prompt and the completion combined.

Can I change my API key?

Yes. You can regenerate your API key at any time from your dashboard. Doing so immediately revokes the old key, so ensure you update your clients before regenerating.

Your key is one form away

Create an account, copy the key, change the base URL. That is the whole setup.
