RuAPI is pay-as-you-go with no hidden markup. You pay the exact per-token rate the provider charges (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.).

How charges work

1

You make a request

Your SDK hits our endpoint. We route it to the appropriate provider.
2

Provider executes

Returns the response plus token counts (input + output).
3

Balance deducted

We deduct USDT from your balance equal to the provider’s price for those tokens. No markup.
4

Logged

In your dashboard → Logs, every request shows up with token counts and the exact deduction.
Per-token vendor prices can change. Current rates are always shown in Models in your dashboard and update automatically.

Top-up volume discounts

The more USDT you top up at once, the bigger the discount on that top-up:
Top-up amountDiscount
1 USDTnone
10 USDTsmall discount
50 USDTbigger discount
100+ USDTmaximum discount
Exact tiers and percentages are shown on the Top up page in your dashboard and may be adjusted occasionally. The discount applies at top-up time — when tokens are charged, you pay the vendor rate.

Transparency

Unlike resellers that mark up tokens, RuAPI gives you:
  • Zero token markup — the per-1M-tokens price equals the provider’s.
  • Every request logged — see input/output split and exact cost in your dashboard.
  • Volume discount only at top-up — no complicated tiered subscriptions.

USDT settlement

We accept payment in USDT (Tether) through several blockchains: TRC20 (TRON), BEP20 (BSC), Polygon. See the Top-up Guide. Internal accounting uses USD at 1 USDT = 1 USD. Token deductions are also in USD — no conversion to local currencies.

Per-key spend limits

When you create an API key, you can set a spend limit in USD — a cap on how much that single key can draw from your overall balance. Useful for:
  • Production / staging / test keys with different limits.
  • Sharing a key with a contractor with a tight budget.
  • Protecting against runaway scripts.
See Authentication for details.

Refunds

Cryptocurrency payments are irreversible by the nature of the blockchain. However, if you hit a real technical issue (top-up credited but you couldn’t use the service), email support@ruapi.ai — we review case by case. Unused balance doesn’t expire: it sits on your account indefinitely.
