Pay-As-You-Go Rates
Our pricing model is straightforward and transparent. You pay strictly for the tokens processed by the uncensored llm. The rate is $0.25 per 1 million input tokens and $1.00 per 1 million output tokens. There are no hidden costs for API calls themselves, only for the data processed. This structure ensures that your costs scale directly with your usage. Whether you are running a few tests or processing large datasets, you only pay for what you consume. The base URL is https://api.hereticllm.com/v1, and you can monitor your exact token usage through the dashboard. This model is ideal for developers who want to avoid the fixed costs of subscriptions while maintaining access to a powerful, unfiltered model.
Bonus Credits
When you top up your account, you can receive bonus credit added to your balance. Purchases of $50 or more include a 5% bonus, while purchases of $100 or more include a 10% bonus. These bonuses are added to your prepaid balance and can be used for API requests just like your base credit. The bonus credit does not expire, and your paid credit never expires. This means you can accumulate a significant amount of usable credit over time. The bonus provides immediate value, allowing you to process more tokens for your initial investment. It is a simple way to reduce your effective cost per token for larger workloads without committing to a monthly plan.
Payment Methods
We support payments via crypto (USDT or USDC), providing flexibility for different user preferences. You can start with a trial account that includes $0.50 of credit, valid for 7 days, with no credit card required. For ongoing usage, you can add funds starting from $10. The prepaid nature of our service means you never face unexpected bills. Once you load your account, the credit remains available until you use it. We do not charge any monthly fees or subscription costs. Your API key is generated immediately upon signup, allowing you to start making requests right away. This approach simplifies budgeting for both individual developers and research teams.
No Hidden Fees
Our pricing model is designed for clarity. There are no monthly fees, no subscription costs, and no charges for API calls themselves. You only pay for the input and output tokens processed by the uncensored ai models. The trial credit of $0.50 is valid for 7 days and requires no credit card. Paid credit never expires, so you can use it whenever you need it. There are no storage charges or maintenance fees. The limit of 300 requests per minute per key is a standard rate limit to ensure service stability, not a fee-based tier. This transparency allows you to predict your costs accurately based on your token usage alone.

Questions and answers
Does my prepaid credit expire?
No, your paid credit never expires. You can add funds and use them at your own pace without worrying about losing your balance. The only exception is the trial credit, which is valid for 7 days from account creation.
How do bonus credits work?
Bonus credits are added to your balance when you purchase $50 or more (5% bonus) or $100 or more (10% bonus). These bonuses are treated the same as your base credit and can be used for any API request. They do not have a separate expiration date and do not expire.
Can I get a refund if I buy too much credit?
Our pricing page does not specify a refund policy for prepaid credit. Since there are no monthly fees, you can simply top up as needed. If you have unused credit, it remains in your account indefinitely until you choose to use it.
What happens if I use more tokens than my balance?
Your API calls will be limited by your available balance. Since there are no monthly fees or subscriptions, you simply need to add more credit to your account to continue making requests. You can top up via crypto (USDT or USDC) at any time.
