Usage Rates
Our pricing is straightforward: $0.25 per 1M input tokens and $1.00 per 1M output tokens. This applies to every request, regardless of length. Unlike providers like Together AI or Perplexity API, we do not charge for errors or refusals—only for tokens actually processed.
We are an independent service, not affiliated with DeepInfra or other open source LLM API providers. While those services offer multiple model choices, we focus on a single uncensored model optimized for consistent, refusal-free output. Check the documentation for full parameter details.
Crypto Payments
Top up your balance with USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base). Minimum top-up is $10, maximum $500. Payments are processed instantly, and your credit never expires. We do not accept credit cards, PayPal, or bank transfers.
For larger top-ups, we offer bonus credits: +5% for $50, +10% for $100. This makes our API cost-effective compared to competitors like DeepSeek API pricing, which often lack transparent bonus structures.
Bonus Credits
When you top up, you receive bonus credits automatically. For example, a $100 top-up gives you $110 in credit. This bonus is applied to your balance and can be used for any request.
Bonus credits are deducted before your main balance, ensuring you get maximum value. This is particularly useful for developers running high-volume tasks, as it reduces the effective cost per token.
Trial Credit
New accounts receive $0.50 in trial credit, valid for 7 days. No credit card is required. This allows you to test our uncensored model with real usage before committing to a top-up.
Trial credit is first-come, first-served. Once used, it cannot be replenished. For ongoing use, top up your balance with crypto to unlock full API access.
Questions and answers
How does prepaid credit work?
You top up your balance with crypto, and tokens are deducted in real-time. Your balance can never go negative, so you always know exactly how much you will spend.
Why is prepaid better than subscription?
Prepaid ensures predictable costs. You only pay for what you use, with no monthly fees or unused credits. This is ideal for developers with variable usage patterns.
Can I get a refund?
Credits are non-refundable but never expire. If you experience a billing error, contact support for a correction.
How does this compare to DeepInfra or Together AI?
We offer a single uncensored model with transparent pricing. Providers like DeepInfra or Together AI offer multiple models with varying costs. Check their documentation for specific rates.
