the billing model that makes sense<br>Pay per request. Not per token.<br>Most APIs charge per million tokens. We charge per call — flat. Same price whether your prompt is 500 words or 200,000 tokens.

Every time you stuff more code into context, you pay more. Every long doc. Every large repo clone. Token anxiety is real.

As long as your prompt fits in the model's context window, you pay the same. Opus 4.8 fits 200K tokens. Use them all.
No token math<br>Don't calculate input/output token splits. Don't estimate cost before every request. Just call the model.
Use full context<br>Stuff the whole codebase in. Drop in 10 PDFs. Use the full 200K Opus window without a calculator.
Predictable bills<br>100 Opus calls = $8. Always. Same on Monday, same on Sunday. No surprise overages.
* Per-call pricing applies as long as your prompt fits within the model's documented context window. Hit the limit? Split your request — or upgrade to a model with a bigger window.
full pricing transparency<br>Every model. Every point cost.<br>No hidden tiers. No "premium" markups. The whole menu, at the price you'll actually pay.
