How prepaid credit works
You buy credit once and spend it as needed. Errors and refusals do not consume tokens. Your balance updates in real time as you send requests. Credit never expires. You can check your remaining balance at any time in your dashboard.
Start with trial credit
Every new account gets $0.50 of trial credit. You can use it to test the API and verify integration before buying more. The trial is one per person.
Why prepaid keeps spend predictable
With a prepaid balance you know exactly how much you can spend. There are no monthly fees or usage caps. You stop spending when your balance reaches zero. This prevents surprise charges from high-volume workloads.
