Usage examples
A developer running a 4,000-token system prompt with a 500-token uncensored story generation.
Cost = (4,000/1,000,000)*0.15 + (500/1,000,000)*0.50 = $0.0006 + $0.00025 = $0.00085 per request. This workload demonstrates the low baseline cost for short interactions with our uncensored model.
An NSFW chatbot session processing 20,000 tokens of context and generating 1,000 tokens of response.
Cost = (20,000/1,000,000)*0.15 + (1,000/1,000,000)*0.50 = $0.003 + $0.0005 = $0.0035 per session. This example shows how our uncensored AI handles longer context windows without hidden base fees.
A content creator using the API to generate 10,000 tokens of unfiltered text from a 5,000-token prompt.
Cost = (5,000/1,000,000)*0.15 + (10,000/1,000,000)*0.50 = $0.00075 + $0.005 = $0.00575. This calculation reflects the direct cost of our unfiltered chatbot for medium-length outputs.
Transparent Token Pricing: Input vs. Output
Lama API charges separate rates for input and output tokens to ensure you only pay for the compute you actually consume. Input tokens are billed at $0.15 per 1 million tokens, while output tokens cost $0.50 per 1 million tokens. This distinction reflects the higher computational effort required for generation compared to processing your prompt.
Our uncensored LLM applies these rates strictly to successful token generation. If you send a request that fails due to a network error or a timeout, you are not charged for those tokens. This structure eliminates the risk of paying for wasted compute cycles, making our API a cost-effective choice for high-volume NSFW chatbot deployments.
Prepaid Credit: Pay Only for What You Use
You fund your account with a one-time prepaid balance that never expires, removing the uncertainty of monthly subscription renewals. The base top-up amount starts at $20 and goes up to $500 in whole dollar increments. When you top up with $50, you receive a 5% bonus, meaning you actually receive $52.50 in usable credit.
This prepaid model ensures your costs remain perfectly predictable. You can monitor your usage in real-time and top up whenever your balance drops. Since the credit never expires, you can pause your projects without losing your funded balance, which is ideal for developers with irregular usage patterns.
Crypto Top-Up: USDT and USDC with Bonus Credits
We accept only USDT on the TRC20 network and USDC on the Base network for all top-ups. This crypto-only approach keeps our overhead low, allowing us to offer bonus credits on larger deposits. Your account is created instantly via Google or email, and your API key is available immediately. The prepaid nature of our service means you control your spending cap exactly, with no surprise bills at the end of the month.
