# Pricing

> Simple, transparent pay-as-you-go pricing

## Overview

Splox uses **pay-as-you-go pricing** with no upfront costs, subscriptions, or hidden fees. You only pay for what you use, when you use it.

<Card title="How Pricing Works" icon="sparkles">
  **Two simple pricing models:**

  1. **AI Models & Services** - Pay per usage (tokens, generations, seconds)
  2. **BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)** - Fixed fee per API request (\$0.005)

  All pricing is transparent with real-time tracking in your dashboard.

## Billing & Usage

### How Billing Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pay-As-You-Go">
    No upfront costs or subscriptions. You only pay for what you use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Real-Time Tracking">
    Monitor your usage and costs in real-time through the dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Usage Limits">
    Set spending limits to control costs and avoid unexpected charges.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Detailed Invoicing">
    Get itemized invoices with breakdowns by model, workflow, and date.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Token Counting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How are tokens counted?">
    Tokens are counted using the same tokenization as the model provider:

    * **GPT models:** \~4 characters = 1 token
    * **Claude models:** \~4 characters = 1 token
    * **Gemini models:** \~4 characters = 1 token

    Use our token calculator in the dashboard to estimate costs before running workflows.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What counts as input vs output?">
    * **Input tokens:** Your prompt + system messages + context + previous conversation
    * **Output tokens:** The model's generated response

    Output tokens are typically more expensive than input tokens.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does caching work?">
    Some models (Claude, GPT) support prompt caching:

    * **Cache Write:** First time sending repeated content (more expensive)
    * **Cache Read:** Subsequent uses of cached content (much cheaper)
    * **Cache TTL:** 5 minutes or 1 hour depending on model

    Caching can reduce costs by 90% for repeated prompts.
  </Accordion>
