Balance and pricing

You pay from a prepaid balance in US dollars, as you go. There are no subscriptions or minimum payments.

How a request is priced#

• Tokens come from the usage the model's provider returned. Reasoning tokens count as output.
• If the provider sent no usage (for example, the stream broke off), the cost is estimated from the size of the request and of the received response.
• Video length comes from the provider's response; if it did not report it, the requested seconds are charged.
• Rates differ per model, and your account may have personal prices. Ask support@example.com for current rates.

When nothing is charged#

• The gateway rejected the request (4xx errors), or the provider did before the response started.
• All of the model's providers are unavailable (502 upstream_unavailable).
• The provider broke off the stream or sent an error before the first piece of the response.
• A video job ended with status failed.

If a stream breaks off mid-response, the request's input and the output generated so far are charged. The same applies if you abort the request yourself after HTTP 200 arrived: the input is charged in full, even if the model had not started answering yet (for example, it was still reasoning).

Reserve and limits#

• While a text or image request runs, its expected cost is reserved on your balance. If the free remainder is held by requests in progress, a new request gets 402 insufficient_quota — retry once they finish.
• Each key can have a spend limit set in the cabinet: once reached, requests on that key get 403 spend_limit_exceeded while other keys keep working.

Check your balance#

In the cabinet — on the dashboard and in the Balance section. From code — GET /v1/balance with your key; the amount is a decimal string, so no precision is lost:

curl https://ai-seller.vibe-codes.ru/v1/balance \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AISELLER_API_KEY"

{"balance": "12.5", "currency": "usd"}

Spending by day and model is in the cabinet's Usage section.
