usage-based credits

Usage-based pricing. Prepay credits, pay for what you use.

One prepaid balance covers coding agents, the model gateway, GPU model hosting, rented compute, and search — all metered to the token and the second. No subscription required; optional plans add bundled credits and guaranteed machines.

Spend caps

One balance, everything

Agents, models, GPU hosting, compute, and search all draw from the same prepaid credits. 1 credit = $0.001.

Metered, with caps

Pay per token and per second. Set spend caps per project, key, app, or agent run so there are no surprises.

Plans are optional

Pro, Ultra & Max bundle monthly credits at a better rate plus guaranteed machines — usage beyond them just continues at list price.
