Access model

Balance controls capacity

A positive balance activates funded access automatically. At $0, requests use any remaining monthly Free allowance. Enable auto-refill when uninterrupted funded capacity matters.

Add balanceNo contract or recurring fee required.

Billing

What is billed

Processed prepaid requests are charged at the applicable rate. Processed Free requests consume allowance instead. Requests rejected before processing begins—such as authentication, validation, rate-limit, or capacity errors—do neither.
