The Monetization & Routing Engine for AI Apps
Enterprise-grade API gateway with zero-code billing. Route LLM traffic, enable dynamic fallbacks, and instantly monetize your AI features with secure pay-as-you-go checkout.
The "Water Pipe" Architecture
Messy Connections
"Bring-Your-Own-Key" Friction: End-users struggle to procure API keys or valid BaseURLs, while developers face a nightmare attempting to evaluate per-user token costs.
Unified Ecosystem
TokenBill converges messy connections into a unified utility gateway. It precisely meters consumption and enables zero-code, seamless pay-as-you-go billing straight to your app's users.
Zero-Code AI Monetization
Transform your LLM wrappers into profitable SaaS products instantly. TokenBill natively intercepts Virtual Endpoint budgets. When a user's credits are exhausted, the gateway intercepts the request and instantly returns a 429 Payment Required error containing a secure, automated checkout link.
- Built-in wallet & ledger system
- Automatic pay-as-you-go checkout mapping
- Zero frontend logic required
- Magic command: type /tokenbill in any chat to query balance & metadata
Enterprise-Grade Routing
Deploy with confidence using microsecond in-memory routing. TokenBill creates resilient bridges between your abstract Logical Models and upstream Physical Models (OpenAI, Anthropic). Define dynamic cascading fallbacks and implement multi-vendor load balancing in clicks.
- Sub-2ms routing latency
- Intelligent semantic fallbacks
- Multi-provider weighted load distribution
Beyond Simple API Keys
Traditional gateways just issue credentials. TokenBill treats every API Key as a programmable, monetizable Virtual Endpoint (VE).
Global Shared Wallet
One leaked key or runaway script drains your entire account balance — no way to isolate the financial damage.
Isolated Credit Pools
Every Virtual Endpoint carries its own credit_budget and credit_spend ledger. A breach is confined to a single VE, and the Credit system unifies multi-currency bookkeeping across all providers.
Hardcoded Provider Lock-in
Client code points directly at upstream URLs. Switching vendors means refactoring every integration point.
Zero-Downtime Provider Swapping
Logical Models decouple clients from Physical Models. Hot-swap underlying providers via dashboard with no client changes — complete with priority-based load balancing and automatic on-the-fly fallbacks when a model fails.
Bring Your Own Billing
You build Stripe integrations, usage metering, and invoice logic from scratch.
Native Revenue Loop
When a Virtual Endpoint exhausts its credit budget, the gateway gently interrupts the conversation with a natural, human-friendly message — just like your LLM would — and embeds a secure checkout link for instant top-up. Your users never see a cold error code.
Delayed Usage Reports
You discover overages hours later from batch CSV exports — too late to prevent runaway costs.
Millisecond-Granularity Billing
In-memory Redis counters update instantly across VE, Logical Model, and Physical Model dimensions. Budget exhaustion is blocked at the gateway before the upstream call is even made.
Developer First Integration
Use the same OpenAI SDK with a TokenBill Base URL and your Virtual Endpoint key.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.tokenbill.io/<VE_ID>/v1",
api_key="<ACCESS_KEY>",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="<LOGICAL_MODEL_NAME>",
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)Transparent Pricing
Start for free, scale infinitely. Designed to pass rigorous compliance and scaling requirements.
Pay-As-You-Go Wallet Top-Ups
When a user's Virtual Endpoint (VE) runs out of budget, the gateway returns a 429 Payment Required. The accompanying secure checkout link directs the user to a top-up portal to replenish their balance. Operator-defined dynamic exchange rates translate global fiat payments directly into virtual Credits.

Text Models
Billed instantly by precise token count (Prompt + Completion). Supports both stream and synchronous API requests.
Image Models
Billed by generation unit size (e.g. 1024x1024 images). Tracks explicit success responses before deduction.
Audio Models
Billed by processing length (TTS/STT). Supports robust byte-stream length calculation.
