Usage examples
A developer running a long-context RAG pipeline
Processing a 90,000-token document and generating a 500-token summary costs: (90,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (500 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0135 + $0.00025 = $0.01375.
A chatbot handling a complex multi-turn conversation
Sending 12,000 tokens of history and receiving a 2,048-token response costs: (12,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (2,048 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0018 + $0.001024 = $0.002824.
An agent performing tool-use with multiple function calls
Inputting 8,000 tokens and outputting 3,000 tokens for tool results costs: (8,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (3,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0012 + $0.0015 = $0.0027.
How Prepaid Credit Works
Your prepaid balance tracks real token usage with zero hidden fees. Errors and refusals cost nothing, so you only pay for successful generations. Credit never expires, allowing you to top up whenever convenient. The balance remains predictable because you control exactly how much you load.
Start with Trial Credit
Every new account receives $0.50 of trial credit for seven days. This allows immediate integration with your OpenAI SDK without financial commitment. Use this credit to verify streaming, function calling, and JSON mode work as expected.
Why Prepaid Keeps Spend Predictable
A prepaid balance prevents surprise bills from runaway loops or unexpected token consumption. You set the limit by topping up a specific amount. Since credit does not expire, you can accumulate usage over weeks or months. This structure suits both rapid prototyping and sustained production workloads.
