Provider list price + 3%
Pay as you go from prepaid credit. Each request is deducted at the provider’s list rate plus our markup — charged as you use it, not upfront. Credit never expires.
What you pay for usage
- Model usageProvider list price + 3% markup by default, or a different rate agreed with us in writing for your workspace.
- Cached answers20% of list when Cruise serves a stored answer.
- BalancePrepaid. Service stops at $0 rather than overrunning. Credit never expires.
- Payment feesAny fee for the way you pay depends on the method you choose and is shown before you pay — not on this page.
Per-model prices
Each model’s price is published on GET /v1/models for your key — measured catalogue, not a static table on this site. Read it in the API reference, or browse the docs index.
Refunds
Unused credit from a recent top-up can be refundable on request; spent credit is not. The binding wording is in the Terms of Service. A short version sits in the Cruise FAQ billing answer.
