Questions

What is AICredits?

AICredits is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway. One API key and one endpoint (https://api.aicredits.in/v1) give you access to 400+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI and others, billed in Indian rupees from a prepaid wallet.

How do I pay for the OpenAI API in rupees?

Top up the wallet with UPI, net banking or a card (minimum ₹50), create an API key, and set the OpenAI SDK base_url to https://api.aicredits.in/v1. Calls are billed per token in rupees from the wallet.

Do I need an international credit card?

No. Payments are in rupees through Razorpay using UPI, net banking or cards.

Does it work with the OpenAI Python and TypeScript SDKs?

Yes. Change base_url and the API key; the rest of your code stays the same. Streaming and tool calling are supported.

Where do I see the rupee price of a model?

Every model has a rupee price per 1M tokens on the models page and in your dashboard. Prices follow the live USD/INR rate. There is no fee on wallet top-ups.

Do you provide GST invoices?

Yes. GST (18%) is included in the amount you pay, and a GST invoice is issued for every top-up.

Do credits expire, and can I get a refund?

Credits expire one year after top-up. Top-ups are non-refundable except for a duplicate charge, an outage longer than 24 hours, a billing error or an unauthorised charge, requested within 7 days. Requests that fail with a 5xx error are not charged.

Can I cap spend per project?

Yes. Set a budget and a rate limit on each API key. Your wallet balance is the overall spending ceiling.

Do you store my prompts?

Request and response logs are kept for 7 days for your usage history and are then deleted. There is no option to keep them longer.

Is there a free tier?

No free credit is included. Creating an account is free, and you add money to the wallet from ₹50.

Make your first call with ₹50

Create an account, top up with UPI, and call any model through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
