Transparent token pricing
The api mistral ai model charges $0.15 per 1 million input tokens and $0.50 per 1 million output tokens. This structure applies to every request, whether you send a short prompt or a massive 100k context window. Errors and refusals do not consume credit, so you only pay for actual inference. You can predict exact costs by multiplying your expected token volume by these rates. There are no base fees or minimum charges to worry about.
Crypto top-up and bonus credits
We accept only USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base) for funding your account. Minimum deposits start at $20 and go up to $500 in whole amounts. We add bonus credit to encourage larger loads: +5% for $50, +10% for $100, and +15% for $200. Your prepaid balance never expires, so you can top up once and use it over months. This crypto-only approach keeps our overhead low and passes savings to you.
Free trial and refund policy
New accounts receive $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days. If you accidentally overpay or encounter a double charge, you can request a fix via the Support page. Note that your prepaid credit balance itself is non-refundable once deposited. This policy ensures your funds stay available indefinitely for future requests.
Rate limits and request sizes
Each API key supports 300 requests per minute and allows 8 concurrent requests. The maximum request body size is 8 MB. You get one active key per account; generating a new key revokes the old one. These limits are generous enough for most independent developers and small teams. If you need higher throughput, you can manage multiple keys or adjust your request frequency accordingly.
