FAQ

Pricing questions

How usage-based billing works on Cheap.dev.

What does “actual-token billing” mean?

We measure the tokens consumed by your request and calculate its cost using the selected model's token rate. You pay for measured usage rather than a bundled estimate or monthly allowance.

Do all models have the same token price?

No. Model rates can differ based on capability and compute requirements. The applicable rate will be shown before payment launches.

Can I see the token usage for each request?

Yes. Request-level usage records will show the actual token count and calculated cost, making it easier to monitor and optimize spending.

Will failed requests be charged?

Our billing records will distinguish successful consumption from requests that fail before usable processing occurs. Final failure and refund rules will be published before payments launch.

Can I set a spending limit?

Budget controls and usage visibility are planned alongside payments. More details will be published before billing becomes active.

When can I add a payment method?

Payment is coming soon. The site will announce availability when payment methods and live billing are ready.
