| Rate | Provider baseline | Free plan · 5% fee | Paid plan · 4% fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input / 1M tokens | $0.37 | $0.3885 | $0.3848 |

Legacy chat image rates use the catalog baseline. The dedicated image playground shows separate estimates and settles the provider’s metered usage. API rates are current routing ceilings; final API charges use provider-reported cost plus your fee. Cheapest routing compares eligible OpenRouter and Cheaper Inference rates for the same model; savings are not guaranteed. Cached input or other provider charges may differ.

How your plan pays for usage
API and playground share one included allowance. Usage including the fee draws from that allowance first, then your prepaid credits. Plans bill monthly; included usage resets weekly: Free $1, Starter $5, Growth $25, Scale $50.
A $1 provider charge becomes $1.05 on Free or $1.04 on a paid plan before included usage is applied. Plan eligibility still applies in the playground.
Free models and limits
Zero-cost models stay $0, including the fee, and do not consume your dollar allowance. Free accounts can make 1,000 free-model API requests per calendar month, resetting in UTC. Admitted requests count even if the provider fails.
Free includes 20 API requests/minute and 6 playground messages/minute. Paid plans raise these limits. See plan limits.
Before a text API request, Gizmo temporarily reserves included usage and, if necessary, prepaid credit for the model’s full context plus your maximum output. Image jobs reserve twice their displayed estimate. Unused funds return after metering. This hold can exceed the final charge; unconfirmed usage remains marked pending.
