Managed Credits

  • Zero markup on token prices
  • Access to all models instantly
  • No API key management needed

BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys)

Use your existing provider accounts

  • No routing fee on BYOK requests
  • No monthly request cap

What You Pay For

LLM Costs

The actual cost of the model used (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, etc.). With managed credits, this is billed at exact provider rates with zero markup.

ANT Fee

5% on credit purchases, or $0.001/request for BYOK after the free tier. This covers routing, optimization, failover, and infrastructure.

Pricing FAQ

What happens if I run out of credits?

Requests will fail with a 402 (Insufficient Credits) error. Top up anytime from your dashboard - it's instant.

Can I switch between managed credits and BYOK?

Yes, you can use both at the same time. If you have both set up, ANT will prefer your own keys, so the spend lands on your provider account.

How does smart routing save me money?

ANT classifies each request and routes simple queries to cheaper models (e.g., Gemini Flash instead of GPT-4). This typically saves 30-50% on costs.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. You pay provider token rates and nothing else. No setup fees, no minimum commitments, no subscriptions.

Is there a minimum purchase?

No. You can top up with as little as $10.
