FAQ

How does UniRoute billing work?

Top up your account, then pay for actual API usage from your balance. No subscription is required.

How are savings calculated?

Verified official API prices are compared with current UniRoute prices for the same model or SKU. Savings appear only when the comparison passes the verification rules.

Do all models use the same billing unit?

No. Text is usually priced per million tokens. Image, video and audio models use the units shown in each row. Check the model and option before calling the API.

Are there free credits?

No. Top up your balance before using the API.
