Billing & plans
Balance & top-ups
- Every new account starts with $1 in free credit — no card required.
- Top up with a card or with crypto — the crypto rail is private by design: no card on file, no KYC.
- Usage, balance, and per-request history are live in the portal under Usage & Billing.
Subscription plans
Prefer a flat monthly price? Three sizes, every tier gets every model — bigger tiers buy bigger allowances, not access:
| All Access $10/mo | Plus $25/mo | Max $50/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium budget (Claude + GPT, pooled) | $50/mo | $200/mo | $500/mo |
| Standard windows | $10 / 5h · $60 / wk | $40 / 5h · $250 / wk | $100 / 5h · $625 / wk |
| Usage value covered, up to | $300/mo | $1,000/mo | $2,500/mo |
- Premium models — the Claude and GPT models priced $4+/1M input (Opus, GPT-5.6 Sol) — draw from one shared monthly premium budget. It's burstable, not weekly-paced, and pooled across both vendors — a Claude-only or GPT-only workflow gets the whole budget.
- Every other model — open-weight daily drivers (GLM-5.2, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen), lower-priced frontier (Sonnet, GPT-5.4, the smaller GPT-5.6s), and the flat-priced Auto routing ids (
ih-auto/ih-auto-smart, Sonnet 5 escalations included) — draws the standard 5-hour/weekly windows, exactly as the portal's usage meters show. - Plans can be bought with crypto as pay-per-period: one payment buys 30 days, renew by paying again — no auto-renewal, no KYC.
Free chat models
The hosted chat has a set of Free models: GPT-5.6 Luna, Claude Haiku 4.5, GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, Qwen3.5, and DeepSeek 3.2. Chatting with a Free model settles at $0 on every account — it draws nothing from your balance, and for subscribers it never touches plan windows. A fair-use pacing window (5 hours) applies; it is sized so normal chatting never meets it, and it is roomier on paid accounts.
Accounts that haven't made a payment yet chat on the Free models; the first top-up or plan unlocks the full chat catalog. Picking another model in chat before then returns a clear needs-a-paid-account notice instead of spending anything. This applies to the hosted chat only — over the API, your key reaches every model on the platform exactly as before.
When you hit a limit
Nothing breaks. Requests beyond any plan limit simply continue at the same 0%-markup pay-as-you-go rates, drawn from your balance — no hard stop, no throttling. A 402 only appears when your prepaid balance is also spent.
Daily reward
Make at least one successful API request in a day (UTC) and you can claim a small credit in the portal's Rewards tab: $0.10 of open-weight credit on day one, ramping to $0.25 by day seven of a consecutive-day streak (daily credits expire after 48 hours). Every 7-day streak adds a $0.50 bonus spendable on any model, and a 30-day streak bumps that bonus to $2.00 (bonuses last 7 days). It's a fixed, published ladder — the same amounts for everyone, no chance involved.
