Claude proxy api pricing and costs

Transparent per-token pricing

Our API charges strictly for tokens used at $0.15 per million input and $0.50 per million output. This model eliminates the guesswork of tiered subscriptions. You only pay for the exact computational effort your prompt requires. The pricing structure remains consistent regardless of request volume or frequency. This approach works well for bursty workloads where traffic spikes unpredictably. Developers appreciate seeing exact costs per call in the response headers. There are no base fees for keeping your account active. The rate applies uniformly to all text generation requests. Your balance decreases precisely by the token count multiplied by the unit price. This transparency helps you optimize prompts without fearing unexpected charges. You can track every token in your billing dashboard. The math is simple and auditable. No hidden scaling factors apply to large batches. You retain full control over your spending limits.

Prepaid credit and crypto payments

Prepaid credit works by topping up your account with crypto before you send requests. We accept USDT on the TRC20 network or USDC on Base. You can add any whole amount between $20 and $500 per transaction. Your balance never expires, so you can top up once and use it over months. This system prevents surprise bills and keeps your project costs predictable. The process is fast and requires no bank verification. Your API key remains active as long as you have sufficient credit. Errors and refusals do not consume your balance. You can monitor your remaining credit in real-time. The prepaid model aligns with how developers prefer to manage API budgets. It removes the friction of recurring billing cycles. You control exactly when and how much you spend.

Bonus credit tiers

We reward larger deposits with bonus credit that increases your purchasing power. Deposits of $50 receive a 5% bonus. A $100 top-up gives you 10% extra credit. The highest tier applies to $200 deposits, offering a 15% bonus. These bonuses are applied immediately to your balance. This structure encourages efficient capital allocation for active projects. You get more tokens for the same crypto outlay. The bonus credit behaves identically to your base balance. It expires at the same rate and covers the same requests. This feature effectively lowers your cost per million tokens. Larger teams benefit most from the higher tiers. The bonus is automatic and requires no manual code changes. It simply increases your available credit upon successful payment.
