Prepaid Credit and No Expiration
Your prepaid credit never expires, so you can top up once and use it whenever you need it without worrying about monthly renewals. You only pay for the tokens you consume, and errors or refusals are completely free, which means your balance is never drained by wasted requests. This approach keeps your spending predictable and eliminates the risk of unexpected charges from subscription tiers.
Free Trial Credit Details
Every new account receives $0.50 of trial credit that is valid for seven days, allowing you to test the API without entering a payment method. This trial credit is ideal for verifying integration and latency before committing to a larger balance. Once your trial balance is exhausted or the seven days pass, you can top up using crypto to continue using the service.
Why Prepaid Balance Keeps Spend Predictable
By using a prepaid balance, you maintain full control over your budget because you are never charged for idle capacity or unused features. You only pay for the actual input and output tokens, and any errors or refusals are free, ensuring your credits are only spent on successful completions. This model is perfect for developers who want to avoid the financial uncertainty of subscription-based plans.
Frequently asked questions
How is the cost of the API calculated per token?
The cost is calculated using the formula: (input_tokens / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (output_tokens / 1,000,000 * $0.50). For example, 100,000 input tokens and 10,000 output tokens cost $0.02000. You only pay for what you use, and errors are free.
Does my prepaid credit expire?
No, your prepaid credit never expires, so you can top up once and use it whenever you need it. This allows you to maintain a predictable budget without worrying about monthly renewals or unused capacity.
Are errors or refusals included in the token count?
No, errors and refusals are completely free, meaning your balance is never drained by wasted requests. You only pay for the tokens consumed by successful completions, which helps keep your costs low and predictable.
Which payment methods do you accept?
