LLM API Pricing and Subscription Plans

Router One pricing has two parts: wallet pay-as-you-go billed per token at the rates posted on /models (up to 90% off official prices on select models), and Pro, Max and Ultra monthly subscriptions with a metered model allowance — usage outside plan coverage draws on the wallet.

Top up to get started

Pay-as-you-go LLM API pricing

Prefer usage-based billing? Top up your wallet and pay each model's posted input, output, cached-input, or per-generation rate. This is separate from the monthly subscription allowances above.

Across 36 priced models, posted rates run from $0.075 to $40.00 per 1M tokens. The model catalog is the source of truth for each model's exact input, output, and cached-input rate.

Wallet billing is live

Top up prepaid USD wallet credits with a card or Alipay through one hosted checkout, or with USDT/USDC stablecoins. API calls deduct from balance by token usage.

Posted model rates

The /models page is the source of truth for input, output, cached input, and unit-priced model rates. Request traces show the rate used for each call.

How far below list price

Pricing starts as low as 10% of official provider list prices (up to 90% off) on select models. Discount levels vary by model — the model catalog marks each model's discount, and a model's detail page shows the discounted rate against its base rate.

Subscriptions are live

Pro, Max, and Ultra subscriptions are available for predictable monthly access. Wallet balance remains available for one-time periods and usage outside plan coverage.

Read the subscription launch post

Visible checkout fees

Currency conversion, payment-channel fees, and stablecoin network assumptions are shown before checkout. There is no hidden markup inside the pay-as-you-go token line.

Billing rules

Subscription quota is separate from wallet balance

Subscriptions provide request-based monthly quotas for eligible model tiers. Wallet balance is a separate pay-as-you-go pool billed by actual token usage.

Shared monthly request quotas

Models in the same tier share that tier's monthly request allowance; the quota is not granted separately per model. Tier assignments follow what each plan card displays.

After the request quota is used

Additional eligible calls and any usage outside plan coverage draw from your wallet balance at the posted pay-as-you-go rate.

Per-token billing on pay-as-you-go

Pay-as-you-go calls are billed per token — input, output, and cached input each at the model's posted rate. See exact rates on the /models page.

Payment methods

Card

International credit and debit cards through one hosted checkout, billed in USD. Recommended for teams outside mainland China.

Alipay

The same hosted checkout also offers Alipay, so a top-up settles in RMB without a US credit card. Works for individuals and small teams in mainland China.

USDT / USDC

Top up with USDT or USDC on Tron, BSC, Ethereum, Polygon, Base, or Arbitrum. Useful for global teams that prefer stablecoin treasury workflows or non-card billing.

Refunds, balance, and invoicing

Monthly request quota

Unused subscription requests do not roll over. The plan quota resets at the end of each billing cycle, while wallet balance stays separate.

Wallet balance

Wallet top-ups never expire. Balance can be spent on any model at posted pay-as-you-go rates.

Refund policy

Unused base credits may be refundable within 14 days according to the Refund Policy. Consumed credits, bonus credits, and payment-channel fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

Invoices

Any top-up completed through the hosted checkout — card or Alipay — can be invoiced, including plain pay-as-you-go wallet top-ups, not only enterprise or subscription accounts. Stablecoin top-ups are a separate rail and are not invoiced. Email support@router.one with your account ID to request one.

Frequently asked questions

Will unused subscription requests carry over to the next billing cycle?
No. Each plan's request quota resets at the end of its billing cycle. If your usage is bursty, keep wallet balance as a buffer.
Can I use a subscription and pay-as-you-go at the same time?
Yes. Subscription coverage and wallet pay-per-token billing can work together, with wallet balance covering usage outside plan coverage.
Can I get an invoice?
Router One issues invoices for any top-up completed through the hosted checkout (card or Alipay), including plain pay-as-you-go wallet top-ups — not only enterprise or subscription accounts. Email support@router.one with your account ID to request one. Stablecoin top-ups are a separate rail and are not invoiced. For annual contracts, contact sales through the /contact page.
What is the minimum top-up amount?
The checkout page is the source of truth for the minimum amount. Card and Alipay top-ups currently usually start at $5 USD equivalent; RMB amounts are converted and shown at checkout using the current FX rate. Stablecoin top-ups (USDT/USDC on Tron, BSC, Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum) usually start at $5 USD equivalent; network gas is paid by the user and any channel fee is shown before checkout.
Does Router One retain my request or response data?
No. Router One does not store request or response content. Only the metadata needed for billing, routing, and observability is logged.
How is billing handled when a provider retry succeeds?
A named-model request is billed at that model's posted rate when an eligible retry succeeds on another provider route. With model="auto", billing follows the final server-selected model. The customer trace shows that final model, provider, and request cost; intermediate failed attempts stay in operational logs.
Can users in mainland China call international models?
Yes — Router One proxies the request through a China-reachable endpoint, so models hosted overseas work without a VPN.
Where can I see exact per-model prices?
The /models page lists every supported model with its applicable token or per-unit price, plus context length and capabilities where relevant.
How is a subscription different from adding the same amount to my wallet?
A subscription covers eligible models through shared monthly request quotas, while wallet balance is billed per token and never expires. Subscriptions are usually better for frequent or long-context usage within the quota; wallet balance is more flexible for light or irregular usage. You can use both, with wallet balance covering overage; bonus credits from deposits are spendable on API usage only and do not pay for a plan.
Which payment methods can I actually use today?
Two rails. One hosted checkout takes major credit and debit cards and Alipay — pick either after entering your billing details. The other rail is USDT/USDC on Tron, BSC, Ethereum, Polygon, Base, or Arbitrum. WeChat Pay is not currently supported; use Alipay for an RMB top-up without a US credit card.
