FAQ
- Is plaingateway really free?
- The platform is free with no platform fee and no subscription. However, tokens are not free: you pay the provider's list price for each token. When using your own provider keys, the provider bills you directly for tokens at their standard rate.
- How do I earn bonus credit?
- You can earn up to 20% bonus credit on your next top-up by completing small tasks: inviting someone (1% for each person who pays $20 in total), posting about plaingateway, or adding your own provider key. Each bonus is used once. For example, pay $100 and get up to $120 of credit.
- Do I need to change my code to use plaingateway?
- No. The API is identical to OpenRouter's with the same model IDs. You only need to change the base URL to https://api.plaingateway.com/api/v1 and use your plaingateway API key.
- What is the smallest top-up and limit for new accounts?
- The smallest top-up is $5 USD in whole dollars. For new accounts, the maximum that can be added in the first 24 hours is $50 USD.
- What does the person I invite get?
- They get 5% bonus credit on their first top-up, or $5 if that is more. You also earn 10% of what the people you referred pay, for one year after their first top-up.
