Pricing - RedPill AI

Overview

RedPill uses pay-as-you-go pricing based on token usage. Pay only for what you use, with no monthly minimums or subscriptions required.

All 218+ models are TEE-protected at no extra cost. Privacy is included by default.

How Pricing Works

Token-Based Billing

You’re charged based on the number of tokens processed:

Cost = (Prompt Tokens × Prompt Price) + (Completion Tokens × Completion Price)

Example:

# Request with GPT-4
Prompt: "Explain quantum computing" (4 tokens)
Response: 150 tokens

Cost = (4 × $0.03/1K) + (150 × $0.06/1K)
     = $0.00012 + $0.009
     = $0.00912

What is a Token?

Tokens are pieces of words. On average:

1 token ≈ 4 characters in English
1 token ≈ ¾ of a word
100 tokens ≈ 75 words

Cost Examples

Chatbot (1M messages/month)

Scenario: Customer support chatbot

Average prompt: 50 tokens
Average response: 150 tokens
Model: GPT-3.5 Turbo

Monthly cost = 1M × [(50 × $0.0005/1K) + (150 × $0.0015/1K)]
             = 1M × [$0.000025 + $0.000225]
             = 1M × $0.00025
             = $250/month

Document Analysis (10K documents)

Scenario: Legal document review

Average document: 2K tokens
Average analysis: 500 tokens
Model: Claude 3.5 Sonnet

Total cost = 10K × [(2K × $0.003/1K) + (500 × $0.015/1K)]
           = 10K × [$0.006 + $0.0075]
           = 10K × $0.0135
           = $135

Code Generation (100K generations)

Scenario: AI coding assistant

Average prompt: 100 tokens
Average code: 300 tokens
Model: GPT-4 Turbo

Total cost = 100K × [(100 × $0.01/1K) + (300 × $0.03/1K)]
           = 100K × [$0.001 + $0.009]
           = 100K × $0.01
           = $1,000

Cost Optimization Tips

1. Choose the Right Model

Don’t use GPT-4 when GPT-3.5 suffices:

GPT-4: $0.03/1K → Complex reasoning
GPT-3.5: $0.0005/1K → Simple tasks
Savings: Up to 60x cheaper!

2. Optimize Prompt Length

Shorter prompts = lower cost:

# ❌ Expensive (100 tokens)
"Please analyze the following text and provide a detailed..."

# ✅ Cheaper (10 tokens)
"Analyze: [text]"

3. Use Streaming

Stop generation early when you have enough:

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o",
    messages=[...],
    stream=True,
    max_tokens=100  # Limit output
)

4. Cache Responses

Avoid redundant API calls:

# Cache common queries
cache = {}
key = hash(prompt)
if key in cache:
    return cache[key]
response = client.chat.completions.create(...)
cache[key] = response

5. Use Batch Processing

Process multiple items in one request:

# ✅ Efficient
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Translate these 10 phrases: ..."
    }]
)

6. Try Budget Models First

Start with cheaper models:

Try mistralai/ministral-8b ($0.0000001/1K)
If quality insufficient, upgrade to GPT-3.5
Use GPT-4 only when necessary
