Pricing · usage-based
No seats, no minimums, no platform fees. Credits are metered per completed request at published rates - start free with pay-as-you-go and upgrade when you need more headroom. Prices can move while models are in beta; this table always mirrors the live catalog.

Billing
Every completed request is billed at least $0.01, whatever the token math says. It keeps metering honest while pricing stays per-token.
Yes. Billing starts with an estimated reservation and settles on the actual token count in the final usage, so a stream costs exactly what it uses.
Requests return a 402 until you top up in the console. Your account and existing keys stay intact; zero-balance accounts can't mint new keys until topped up.
During beta, rates can change as models mature. The pricing table always reflects the live catalog, and changes are announced on the Updates page.
