How does pay-as-you-go pricing work?

You only pay for the tokens you actually use. There are no monthly fees, minimums, or hidden charges. Your balance is deducted in real-time as you make API calls. You can start with as little as $5.

Are your prices higher than official providers?

No, our prices are often lower than official providers. Through intelligent multi-channel routing, we can offer competitive rates while maintaining high availability. Check the pricing table for detailed comparisons.

What happens if a provider goes down?

Our circuit breaker protection automatically detects failing channels and routes your requests to healthy alternatives. This ensures 99.9% uptime even when individual providers experience outages.

Can I use my existing OpenAI SDK?

Yes! APIPod is fully compatible with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini SDKs. Simply change the base URL to api.apipod.ai and use your APIPod API key. No code changes required for most SDKs. You can even use the Anthropic Python SDK with our Claude models, or Gemini SDK with our Google models.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, unused credits can be refunded within 30 days of purchase. Contact our support team at api@apipod.ai for refund requests.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through Stripe. Enterprise customers can also pay by invoice with NET-30 terms.

Is there a free tier?

New users receive free trial credits upon signup. This allows you to test the API and explore different models before committing to a paid plan.

How do I get started?

Sign up for a free account, generate an API key from the dashboard, and start making API calls. Most developers are up and running in under 5 minutes.
