Worked examples
Short-form content generation
A request processes 2,000 input tokens and generates 500 output tokens. Input cost: 2,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25 = $0.0005. Output cost: 500 / 1,000,000 * $1.00 = $0.0005. Total: $0.001 per request.
Context-heavy analysis
A developer sends a 30,000 token prompt and receives a 2,000 token summary. Input cost: 30,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.25 = $0.0075. Output cost: 2,000 / 1,000,000 * $1.00 = $0.002. Total: $0.0095 per request.
High-volume batch processing
Processing 100 requests, each with 1,000 input tokens and 100 output tokens. Total input: 100,000 tokens ($0.025). Total output: 10,000 tokens ($0.01). Total batch cost: $0.035.
Token Pricing
Kimicode bills strictly on token consumption. Input tokens cost $0.25 per million, while output tokens cost $1.00 per million. This structure reflects the higher compute cost of generation compared to processing. You can monitor your usage via the API response headers, which report token counts for every request. Errors do not consume tokens, so you only pay for successful completions. This model aligns costs directly with the work your application performs.
Crypto Payments
Top-ups are processed exclusively via cryptocurrency. We accept USDT (TRC20) and USDC (Base). Payments must be whole dollar amounts ranging from $10 to $500. We do not process credit cards, PayPal, or bank transfers. Transactions are recorded immediately, and your prepaid balance is updated to reflect your usage. This method ensures fast, borderless payments with minimal friction for developers.
Bonus Credits
We reward larger top-ups with bonus credit. Adding $50 grants a +5% bonus, while adding $100 grants a +10% bonus. These bonuses are added to your prepaid balance and can be used for any API request. Credits never expire, so you can accumulate them over time. This feature allows you to stretch your budget further when funding your account for extended development or production runs.
Free Trial
New accounts receive $0.50 in trial credit, valid for 7 days. No credit card is required to start. This allows you to test the uncensored model, verify integration, and evaluate performance before committing to a crypto top-up. The trial is one per person. Once the trial expires or is exhausted, you must add funds via crypto to continue using the API.
No Hidden Fees
There are no monthly subscriptions, setup fees, or per-request surcharges. You pay only for the tokens you consume. Errors are free, meaning if a request fails or returns an error status, you are not charged. Your prepaid balance acts as a hard cap on spending, ensuring you never exceed your budget. This transparency makes Kimicode ideal for projects where cost predictability is critical.
