## Plans

There are no plans. Y-API has a single pay-as-you-go model:

- **Price**: per token, at each model's own rate (see the table below)
- **Monthly fee**: none
- **Minimum spend**: none
- **Subscription threshold**: none
- **Seats**: unlimited; multiple API keys under one account share one balance
- **Free credit**: $1 on sign-up, no credit card required

## Top-up conversion

Every $1 paid adds $20 of account credit. The rate is fixed —
there is no amount threshold and no volume discount tier.

| You pay | Credit received |
| --- | --- |
| $5 | $100 |
| $10 | $200 |
| $50 | $1,000 |
| $100 | $2,000 |

Not a plan tier — there is no amount threshold; any top-up converts at the same rate.

## Per-model rates

Rates are in USD credit per 1M tokens, input and output billed separately.

Prices are in USD credit (limited-time: a $1 top-up adds $20 credit; reverts to 1:10 afterwards). The catalog and prices may change; the console "Overview" page is the source of truth.

The table above is quoted in account credit. Divide any figure by 20 for the USD actually paid: `xiaomi/mimo-v2.5` at $0.14 in credit is $0.007 per 1M input tokens in cash. The cash price is what compares against another provider's list price. Both prices, computed per model, are published as JSON at https://y-api.bestvirtualgoods.com/pricing.json.
