Pricing and billing
Transparent prepaid token billing with no monthly overhead allows precise cost control for high-volume inference. You pay only for valid tokens, while errors and refusals cost nothing.

Batch inference with multiple small requests
Input: 1,000 tokens at $0.15 per 1M = $0.00015. Output: 500 tokens at $0.50 per 1M = $0.00025. Total cost: $0.00040 per request.

What happens if the API returns an error?
Errors are free. You do not pay for failed requests. Only valid tokens count.
Does the credit expire?
No. Paid credit never expires. You can top up anytime. No monthly overhead.
