API Pricing
Explorer Tier
Venice is pleased to offer trial API access to our Pro users free of charge with constrained rate limits, to support exploration of our services and testing of our API with their application.
Paid Tier
Paid access to the Venice API can be obtained in two ways:
Purchased API Credits
Users can purchase API credits via the API Dashboard.
Stake VVV
Users can stake VVV which in return, provides you proportional access to Venice’s compute pool in “Venice Compute Units” or VCUs. The more you stake, the higher your VCU allocation, and they renew daily. You also earn staking rewards while staked. Visit the Token Dashboard to stake VVV and to see how much VCU you control.
Model Pricing
Chat Models
Chat models are priced per million tokens, with separate pricing for input and output tokens. While the price is per million tokens, you will only be charged for the tokens you use. You can estimate the token count of a chat request using this calculator.
