​
Credit-based billing

The SmartlyQ API uses a prepaid credit system called SmartlyQ Credits (SQC). Every API call that consumes AI resources deducts credits from your Developer wallet.

​
Developer wallet

Your wallet is separate from your SmartlyQ subscription. Top it up from the Developer Dashboard.

​
How pricing works

Credit cost per request depends on:
  1. AI model used — larger models cost more
  2. Token count — input + output tokens consumed
  3. Operation type — text, image, video, audio
The formula: 
cost_sqc = (provider_cost_usd × markup × sqc_per_usd) + platform_fee
TypeMarkupMinimum SQC
Text generation4.0x1
Image generation3.5x2
Audio (TTS/STT)3.0x1
Video generation2.5xvaries
Presentations3.0x1
