Billing
Two modes, two billing models. Your-key mode uses flat subscriptions; Hosted mode uses a prepaid wallet.
Your-key mode — subscriptions
You pay a flat monthly fee for a quota of request-units. Two tiers: Basic ($0.99 / 10,000 units) and Pro ($2.99 / 100,000 units). Subscriptions are funded from your wallet — top up first, then subscribe.
What is a request-unit?
One API request counts as one or more request-units, scaled by input token count. Requests with up to 100,000 input tokens count as 1 unit. Requests with 100,001–256,000 input tokens count as 1.5 units. Requests above 256,000 input tokens count as 2 units. Normal Office workloads are well under 100,000 tokens and count as 1 unit each.
Pay-as-you-go overflow
PAYG is off by default. When enabled, requests that exceed your subscription quota — or requests made without an active subscription — are billed at $0.005 per request-unit from your wallet. Enable it on the Wallet page.
Hosted mode — wallet and tokens
Hosted mode is wallet-funded. Top up your wallet in advance; each request deducts from your balance. Billing is per token — input tokens, cached-input tokens, and output tokens each at their own rate. Per-token rates are listed in the pricing catalog on the Mappings page.
Wallet mechanics
Both modes use the same wallet. Your balance is held in a single currency — US dollars or Chinese yuan — fixed by the payment method you first use. At MVP, top up via coupon code on the Wallet page. Your wallet balance is visible on the Overview and Wallet pages.
Common questions
What is a request-unit?
A request-unit is reAPI's billing primitive for Your-key mode. One request = one unit for normal-sized prompts (up to 100k input tokens). Larger prompts count as 1.5× or 2× to reflect their higher proxy cost.
What happens when my subscription quota runs out?
Requests are rejected with a 429 until the next monthly cycle resets your quota. If you have PAYG enabled, overflow requests are billed from your wallet instead of being rejected.
How do I top up my wallet?
Go to the Wallet page in your dashboard and enter a coupon code. The coupon's value is added to your balance immediately.
