Frequently asked
The short answers, with links to the long ones.
Checked against the code on
Do I need a subscription?
No. You fund one balance and pay for the model usage you actually consume. Nothing recurs, nothing renews, nothing needs cancelling.
How do I pay?
With cryptocurrency, sent to an address issued for that one deposit. One dollar is 1,000 credits. The assets accepted are listed live on Add credits.
How much does it cost?
Each request is metered at the model's own rate. A short chat on a cheap model costs a fraction of a credit; a video clip costs hundreds. Prices are on Models and the cost of every request is shown when it finishes. There is no platform fee in the first version.
Do my credits expire?
No. Credit does not expire. It buys model usage only, earns nothing, and cannot be withdrawn or converted back. Refunds and withdrawals.
Which models can I use?
Hundreds, across chat, code, images and video, from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Qwen, Meta and more. The catalog is live and says which run on the API and which run in the workspace.
Is my data private?
Nothing you type trains a model. Messages and replies are not stored; a conversation exists in the browser tab you typed it in. Images and clips you make are kept in your library so you can get them back. Privacy.
Can I build on it?
Yes. The API is OpenAI-compatible: change a base URL and a key and existing code works. The CLI is the fastest way to try it.
Is there a token?
Yes, ASKR. It is access, not a revenue claim: holding it lowers the askr fee and unlocks access bands. The token.
