When prepaid AI credits make sense

Pay 20% of the official reference rate

Choose $10, $50, $100 or $500 in prepaid credit

Keep unused balance with no expiration

You need extra capacity for a temporary project

A large refactor, migration or debugging session can consume more AI usage than your normal workload. Instead of changing subscriptions for one project, you can add prepaid credit and stop spending when the work is finished.

The $10 pack is the simplest place to start when you only need occasional additional capacity.

You use AI coding tools regularly

Pay-as-you-go credit can also work for developers who use Claude Code or Codex across multiple repositories. You can see each deduction in the dashboard and add more balance only when needed.

The $50 and $100 packs are better suited to regular coding, while the $500 option is intended for more frequent, token-heavy workflows.

You want to test Claude Code or Codex before subscribing

Gateway credit lets you try supported Claude and Codex model routes without first purchasing a separate Claude or ChatGPT subscription.

You receive a Base URL, API key, dashboard address and setup instructions after purchase. Your personal OpenAI or Anthropic login is not required for gateway billing.

Your existing subscription allowance is not enough

A gateway can work as additional pay-as-you-go capacity when you already use Claude Code or Codex through a subscription but need more usage.

Gateway usage is billed separately. It does not increase your Claude, ChatGPT or official API account balance.

Why prepaid credit is different from another subscription

There is no recurring monthly charge. Your balance is reduced only when you send requests through a supported route, and whatever remains stays available until you use it.

The dashboard records usage and balance deductions. Current model IDs and token rates are available on the live model pricing page.

When direct provider billing may be preferable

Gateway credit is practical for personal development, testing and flexible pay-as-you-go coding work.

If your organization requires invoices issued directly by the model provider or provider-backed enterprise contracts, choose the purchasing route that meets those requirements.

What you receive

Your order includes a prepaid redemption code, the production API Base URL, dashboard access, API key access after redemption and setup instructions for Claude Code and Codex.

Support is available for delivery, redemption and connection problems.

FAQ

Do I need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription? +

No. Gateway requests use the delivered Base URL and API key instead of billing through a personal Claude or ChatGPT subscription.

Can I use gateway credit if I already have a subscription? +

Yes. It can provide separately billed usage when your subscription allowance is not enough or when you want to keep a particular project’s usage separate.

Does unused credit expire? +

No. Once redeemed, your remaining balance stays valid until you use it.

Can I see how much credit I have used? +

Yes. The dashboard displays your remaining balance, request usage and balance deductions.
