Still paying expensive API fees for AI models?
The inference cost for most models is actually much lower than their official pricing, which can be seen in several ways:
They offer much lower prices to enterprise customers.
Subscription plans like Claude Max and ChatGPT Pro provide usage limits far higher than what the same amount would buy via API.
Open-source models with comparable capabilities are often priced much lower than closed-source models.
However, regular developers cannot access these enterprise discounts. If you use a subscription plan, you are locked to a single provider's models, and unused capacity is wasted.
We aggregate these low-cost channels and provide them to regular developers through a unified, pay-as-you-go API.
