Frequently asked questions

How does “$1 = $10 in API credits” work?

You add real money to your balance and receive 10× that amount in API credits. Credits are spent at standard per-token rates as you call the API, so $10 paid gives you $100 of Claude API usage — roughly 90% below official Anthropic pricing.

Which Claude models can I use with the credits?

All of them through one key: Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5 and Fable 5, plus GPT and Gemini models. Credits are shared across every model — route each task to whatever fits.

How do I pay?

Card and crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH) are supported at checkout. Top-ups are instant — credits land in your balance the moment payment confirms, with no subscription and no auto-renewal.

Do credits expire?

No. Your balance stays until you spend it. Pay as you go, top up whenever you run low.

Will my existing code work?

Yes. Set your key and point the base URL at the gateway — the Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible endpoints are drop-in for Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Aider and any standard SDK.
