Channels & Pricing
We offer 8 independent Channels, each with transparent pricing. When you create an API Key, you bind it to one Channel, and calls are billed at that Channel's rate.
Channel List
| Channel | Billing Rate | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Official (Claude Code only) | 1.4x | Dedicated to the Claude Code CLI, top-quality upstream, best stability; non-CC clients get a 503 rejection |
| Claude Official (any client) | 2.0x | Cline / Cursor calling Claude / opencode / Open WebUI / Cherry Studio / custom SDKs calling Anthropic, any client supported |
| Claude AWS Bedrock 🆕 | 3.0x | AWS Bedrock upstream, high stability and high availability; all Claude models, ideal for production workflows with the strictest stability requirements |
| Budget Claude | 0.5x | Any client, lowest price; budget tier, quality / stability relatively less reliable |
| Claude Sonnet Discount | 0.5x ⭐ | Primarily using Sonnet for coding / analysis — Sonnet series only |
| Codex | 0.35x | OpenAI / Codex CLI / Cursor / Cline / Chatbox (supports both Responses + ChatCompletions protocols) |
| Codex Ultra-Budget 🆕 | 0.15x | All OpenAI-family models, lowest price; the only OpenAI Channel that supports image generation (gpt-image-2) |
| Gemini | 0.5x | Long-form text, image understanding (Gemini 3 / 2.5, native protocol) |
How the rate is calculated
Official price × Channel rate = your actual price. For example, Claude Sonnet 4.6 input at an official $3/M tokens:
- Claude Official (Claude Code only) 1.4x → $4.2/M
- Claude Official (any client) 2.0x → $6/M
- Budget Claude 0.5x → $1.5/M
- Claude Sonnet Discount 0.5x → $1.5/M
Combined with the Top-up rate of ¥1=$1, that equals ¥1.5/M.
How to choose among the four all-model Claude Channels
The models / context length are identical — the differences are client compatibility + upstream quality + rate:
Claude Official (Claude Code only)1.4x: top-quality upstream, best stability. But the channel only accepts the official Claude Code CLI (claude-cli/X.Y.ZUA + standard metadata). Cline / Cursor / opencode / Open WebUI / custom SDKs, etc. will get a 503.Claude Official (any client)2.0x: a self-built account pool, usable by any client speaking the Anthropic protocol, with good stability.Claude AWS Bedrock3.0x: AWS Bedrock upstream, for workflows with the most demanding stability / high availability requirements (production agents, long-running batch jobs, no tolerance for a single failure). Higher price, but the best perceived SLA.Budget Claude0.5x`: any client, lowest price, but quality / stability relatively less reliable — suited for scenarios with high tolerance for occasional failures that prioritize value.
Only using the Claude Code CLI → 1.4x. Other tools needing stability → 2.0x. Production-critical workflows needing maximum stability → AWS Bedrock 3.0x. Chasing the lowest price and tolerating occasional failures → 0.5x budget tier.
How to choose between the two Codex (OpenAI) Channels
The supported models are exactly the same (GPT-5.x / Codex series) — the differences are rate + image generation:
Codex0.35x: a stable, established Channel for plain-text calls (Chat Completions + Responses). Does not support the gpt-image-* series.Codex Ultra-Budget0.15x: a new upstream Channel with the lowest price. The only OpenAI Channel with image generation enabled — you can call gpt-image-2 directly to generate images.
No image generation needed + want stability → Codex 0.35x. Need image generation / want to save money → Codex Ultra-Budget 0.15x.
Models Supported by Each Channel
Below are the exact strings you must put in the request's model field. There is no short-name fallback — writing gpt-5 instead of gpt-5.4 will get you a 503 No available accounts.

Gemini uses Google's native /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent (or :streamGenerateContent?alt=sse) endpoint, and does not use the OpenAI / Anthropic compatible interface. Each contents item in the request must explicitly include "role": "user", otherwise Google will return 400 Request contains an invalid argument. See FAQ for details.
🎨 Image generation is live (2026-05-22)
gpt-image-2 image generation is now supported via the Codex Ultra-Budget Channel.
Two ways to use it:
- Call the API directly:
POST /v1/images/generations, set model togpt-image-2, requires an API Key bound toCodex Ultra-Budget - Built-in dashboard tool: after logging in, the sidebar entry "AI Image Generation" lets you pick a Key + prompt to generate, with support for reference-image editing + multiple platforms (OpenAI / Gemini / Antigravity)
The Gemini-series image models (gemini-3-pro-image / gemini-3.1-flash-image, etc.) are currently not open for client calls — to be evaluated later.
⚡ 1M Long Context (Beta)
3 models support a 1M-token context window (default 200K):
| Model | Default | 1M Mode |
|---|---|---|
claude-opus-4-7 | 200K | ✅ |
claude-opus-4-6 | 200K | ✅ |
claude-sonnet-4-6 | 200K | ✅ |
How to enable it
Add a header to the request:
anthropic-beta: context-1m-2025-08-07If you have another beta enabled at the same time (e.g. thinking), just separate them with a comma:
anthropic-beta: context-1m-2025-08-07,interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14When calling a model that supports 1M, the header is passed through to Anthropic and 1M mode takes effect. When calling a model that does not support 1M (haiku / older opus / older sonnet), we automatically strip this header on our side and won't send an abnormal request upstream — so even if you specify the wrong model, it won't trigger Anthropic's risk controls.
Cost reminder
A single 1M-context request consumes far more tokens than 200K mode. Anthropic officially charges 2x for 1M-context input:
- Normal mode: Sonnet 4.6 input $3/M
- 1M mode (the portion beyond 200K): Sonnet 4.6 input $6/M
Converted to our pricing:
- Claude Official (Claude Code only) 1.4x → 1M mode $8.4/M
- Claude Official (any client) 2.0x → 1M mode $12/M
- Budget Claude 0.5x → 1M mode $3/M
- Claude Sonnet Discount 0.5x → $3/M
A single call that fills the entire 1M context can cost on the order of $3–10, and multiple full-load calls within 5h will quickly consume your scheduling quota. We recommend:
- Only enable it when you truly need it (large codebase analysis, long document summarization)
- Turn it off when done
- Keep a buffer in your Top-up Balance

- Claude Code CLI, primarily Sonnet → Claude Sonnet Discount (cheapest, Sonnet only)
- Claude Code CLI using Opus / Haiku → Claude Official (Claude Code only) 1.4x (top-quality upstream)
- Cline / Cursor calling Claude / opencode / Open WebUI over the Anthropic protocol, needing stability → Claude Official (any client) 2.0x
- Production-critical workflows needing maximum stability → Claude AWS Bedrock 3.0x
- Any client, chasing the lowest price, able to tolerate occasional failures → Budget Claude 0.5x
- Codex CLI / Cursor calling GPT in plain text → Codex 0.35x
- Need image generation / want maximum savings → Codex Ultra-Budget 0.15x
- Not sure → Codex Ultra-Budget (best compatibility, works with almost any tool that supports the "OpenAI API" + lowest price + image generation as a bonus)
Top-up Rate
¥1 = $1 (Top-up rate 1.0x). For example:
- Top up ¥100 → wallet Balance $100
- One full Claude Sonnet 4.6 conversation costs about $0.018 (including 1k input + 500 output tokens, 0.5x discount Group)
- That works out to roughly 5500 medium-length conversations per ¥100
See Top-up & Plans for details.
Service Rate Limiting
To keep the service stable over the long term, our scheduling system automatically controls the call volume per unit of time. When requests come in too densely within a short window, some requests will temporarily return 429 and automatically recover within 1–5 minutes.
If your workflow is sensitive to occasional 429s, we recommend:
- Implementing simple exponential-backoff retries in your client
- Spreading out usage (avoiding the 19:00–23:00 peak)
- Rotating across multiple Keys for important tasks
See FAQ for details.
