Affordable LLM API Access: Scale Faster Without Enterprise Contracts

LLM APIper-token billingAI pricing

Why It Costs Less

Chinese labs train and serve their models at a lower cost base than their Western counterparts, and they compete hard on price. That shows up directly in per-token rates: for many workloads the same class of capability costs a fraction of what the US-hosted equivalent does. You pay per token, with no minimum spend and no contract.

How Our Pricing Works

  • Per-Token Billing: You pay for exactly the tokens you use, billed to four decimal places
  • One Integration: A single OpenAI-compatible endpoint covers 30+ models from every major lab
  • No Commitments: Pay-as-you-go with no minimum spend or long-term contracts

Getting Started

Sign up, buy credits, and start building — all in under 5 minutes. There is no minimum spend, so you can validate with a few cents before committing.
