FAQ
Everything you might be wondering
If your question is not here, send us a note and we will answer it directly.
Is this really the same Claude?
Yes. Requests are forwarded to genuine Anthropic models. We do not retrain, distill, or substitute models. You get the same outputs you would calling Anthropic directly.
How can it be this much cheaper?
We buy capacity in bulk and pass most of the savings on. You pay a published per-token rate that sits far below list price, with a thin margin that keeps the service running.
Do I have to change my code?
Almost nothing. The API is request-and-response compatible with Anthropic. In most tools you only override the base URL and drop in your ClaudeCheap key.
How does billing work?
Pre-paid credits. Top up a balance, then spend it down based on actual token usage at the rate card price. No seats and no monthly minimums.
What happens if my balance runs out?
Requests are rejected with a clear error until you top up again. Nothing is charged to a card automatically unless you opt into auto-reload.
Is my data used for training?
No. We pass prompts through for inference only. We do not sell prompt data or use it to train models.
