Pricing & Billing

Transparency is our baseline. Below are Chonway API’s billing rules; for live, callable models and real-time prices, see the console.

Billing rules

  • Billed per token

    Charged on the input and output tokens each call actually consumes, per official metering.

  • Anchored to official

    Prices are anchored to each model’s official rate, then settled at the discounted rate — your savings show directly in the price you pay.

  • No monthly fee, no plans

    No monthly fee, no plan lock-in, no minimum top-up. You pay only for what you use.

  • Credits never expire

    Top-up credits have no expiry — use them whenever you like.

  • Transparent & auditable

    The console logs each call’s model, tokens and cost — a clear, traceable bill.
