Why CheapClaude
Everything you need to build with AI, nothing you don't
No monthly plans, no foreign card, no juggling accounts with five providers.
One key, every model
Claude, GPT, GLM, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi and more. 32 models behind a single key.
Works with your tools
Cursor, Claude Code and any Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible client. Change the base URL and you are done.
Prepaid, no subscription
Top up the amount you want. No card on file, no monthly fee, no surprise bills.
Pay for completed replies
Failed requests cost nothing, and cached tokens are billed at a much lower rate.
Live usage dashboard
See every request with tokens, cache hits and cost, plus a daily spending chart.
Private by design
Your key is stored only as a hash. Usage logs hold token counts, never your prompts.

Simple pricing
Per-token prices, nothing hidden
Input, output and cache writes use the standard rate. Cache reads are much cheaper.
Anything that speaks the Anthropic Messages API or the OpenAI Chat Completions API: Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, Continue, LangChain, the official SDKs and plain HTTP. Claude models work in Anthropic format.
How do I pay?
Top-ups are handled on WhatsApp. Open your account page, tap "Top up on WhatsApp" and your account id is filled in for you. Credit is added once payment is confirmed.
What happens when my balance runs low?
Requests need a balance of at least $0.30. Below that the API returns a clear "insufficient balance" error until you top up. You are never billed past zero.
Am I charged for failed requests?
No. You pay only for replies that complete. Upstream errors and requests that return no usage cost nothing.
Do you store my prompts?
No. We log the model, token counts, cost and status of each request so you can see your usage. Prompt and reply content is passed through and never saved.
I lost my key. What now?
Keys are stored only as a hash, so we cannot show it again. Message us on WhatsApp with your account id and we will help you.
