Billing

How billing works

💳

Top up, then use

Add credit with a card or crypto (USDT). Balances never expire. No subscription, no surprise invoice at month end.

🧮

Per-token metering

Every request is metered exactly like the big providers — input and output tokens counted separately. See costs per key in real time.

Spend limits

Set a hard monthly cap per API key. When it hits the limit, requests fail with a 402 — no surprise overages, ever.

FAQ

Pricing questions

Why is ForgeAPI cheaper than official APIs?

We run open-weight models on our own GPUs instead of paying per-token markup to a cloud provider. Open models cost what the silicon costs — we pass that on.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Every account gets daily free access to qwen-3-8b (rate-limited). Enough to build, test and benchmark before paying anything.

Do credits expire?

No. Prepaid balances never expire and are refundable within 30 days of purchase, minus usage.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cards (Visa / Mastercard via Stripe) and USDT on major chains. Volume customers can arrange invoicing.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Fully. Use https://api.forgeapi.dev/v1 as your base_url with any OpenAI SDK — Python, Node, Go, or raw curl.
