>Furthermore, their pricing plan is insanely cheap, they even upped usage limit for their cheapest plan, lite plan, which is at 5$ / month.

Unless something changed their plans aren't really worth getting. They're not that much cheaper than the per-token rates, and because it's a plan, you have to contend with weird usage restrictions. You're better off paying per-token unless you have some use case that demands a very steady stream of tokens.



Wow. I saw 4.1B credits and thought it was super generous. But my math says the subscription plan gives less value than the API.

For example, API input is $0.435 / M tokens, which works out to 13.79 M tokens for $6.

Plan is 300 credits per input token, which works out to 13.67 M tokens at 4.1B credits per $6.

Very similar math for cache input and output.


Indeed. I did the math and arrived at the same conclusion. They don’t really subsidize their token plans. Maybe because their api pricing is already dirt cheap
