Token-Based Pricing Model
Our pricing for the chinese llm api is straightforward: you pay only for the tokens processed. Input tokens cost $0.25 per million, and output tokens cost $1.00 per million. This model rewards efficiency since longer contexts are cheaper per token than generating new text. There are no base fees for keeping your account active or for the API key itself. You simply load credit, and the system deducts costs as your applications consume the model. This transparency eliminates surprise charges common in tiered systems where overage rates are unclear.
Top-Up & Bonus Credits
To encourage higher usage, we offer bonus credits on prepaid top-ups. Adding $50 grants a 5% bonus, and adding $100 grants a 10% bonus. These bonuses apply to your total balance immediately, giving you more tokens to process without increasing your out-of-pocket spend. The base rate remains the same, but your effective cost per million tokens decreases as you utilize the bonus. This is ideal for developers who want to maximize their budget for intensive testing or production runs of the uncensored llama or other open-weight models.
Payment Methods: Card & Crypto
We accept crypto (USDT or USDC) for top-ups, starting at $10. Crypto payments are processed instantly, allowing you to start making requests without waiting for bank clearances. Card payments are also supported for convenience. Every new account receives $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days, requiring no card or phone number. This trial credit lets you verify the API's behavior before committing funds. Your prepaid balance keeps your spending predictable because you cannot exceed the amount you have loaded.
No Expiration, No Fees
Your prepaid credit never expires. Whether you use it today or next year, the balance remains available for your chinese llm api integration. There are no monthly maintenance fees, no inactivity fees, and no hidden transaction costs. This structure is particularly useful for projects with variable traffic patterns, where you might load funds during peak periods and let them sit during slower months. The only limit is the 300 requests per minute per key, which prevents sudden spikes from draining your balance unexpectedly.
