Credits & Pricing
Understand how LLM Hub pricing works and manage your credits effectively.
How Credits Work
Credit System
LLM Hub uses a simple credit-based system. Credits are deducted automatically based on your usage:
- • 1 credit = €0.00001 (1 milli-cent)
- • €1 = 100,000 credits
- • Credits are deducted after each API call
- • Credits never expire
Free Tier
New accounts receive €1 in free credits (100,000 credits) to get started. Some models are marked as "Free Tier" and don't consume credits at all.
Pricing by Model Type
The pricing examples below are loaded live from the public /v1/models endpoint.
Chat & Completion Models
Priced per 1,000 tokens. Input (prompt) and output (completion) tokens are priced separately.
| Model | Input / 1K tokens | Output / 1K tokens |
|---|---|---|
