Billing

Users pay through a credit balance. Every API request deducts from the balance based on input and output token counts.

Platform margin

A 6% platform margin is added on top of the requested top-up amount.

Requested: $10.00
Margin (6%): $0.60
Charged:    $10.60

Note

We never modify model prices. The margin is applied only once, at top-up. Each API call deducts at the model’s actual token price.

Token pricing

Prices are quoted per 1M tokens in USD. Some models use input cached, reasoning tokens, image, or audio second units.

Example price units:

Unit	Example value	Note
per 1M tokens	$5.00	Text input/output
per image	$0.002	Image generation
per second	$0.0008	Audio/video
per minute	$0.048	Realtime audio
per 1M token-hours	$3.20	Cache

Check the current price per model at Dashboard > Models.
