How Billing Works

LLMsRelay uses a shared credit balance funded by one-time Anthropic-equivalent usage packs.

LLMsRelay uses a shared credit balance funded by one-time usage packs. Every API request deducts from that balance based on actual token consumption.

Billing Model

One-time packs — add usage without recurring billing
Per-request billing — each API call deducts based on tokens used
Persistent balance — purchased packs, referral rewards, and admin grants do not expire
Real-time balance — check your remaining credits in the dashboard

Each request is billed based on five token categories:

Token Type	Description
Input tokens	Standard uncached input tokens sent to the model
Output tokens	Generated response tokens returned by the model
Cache write tokens	Tokens written to the prompt cache
Cache read tokens	Tokens read from the prompt cache (discounted)
Thinking tokens	Extended thinking tokens (Opus and Sonnet models)

Streaming is billed the same as non-streaming requests. There is no additional cost for using streaming mode.

Credit / Debit Card — Visa, Mastercard, and other major cards via secure checkout
Cryptocurrency — Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20), USDC
Telegram — direct purchase through support chat

All payment methods are processed quickly and credits appear in your account within minutes.

Purchased usage packs, referral rewards, and administrator grants remain available until used.

Yes. Contact support via Telegram to request an invoice for your purchase.
