Frequently asked

Is this the real Claude, or a substitute model?

You call the genuine Claude models. Tokenless routes your request to the real model you selected and returns its response unchanged. The model id you send is the model you get.

How is the Claude API 50% cheaper?

Tokenless resells frontier model access at 50% of the provider's published list price. You pay per token from a prepaid balance, with no subscription and no minimums.

Do I have to rewrite my code?

No. Tokenless is OpenAI-compatible. Point your existing OpenAI or Anthropic client at the Tokenless base URL, keep your code, and every request bills at half of list.

Are my prompts logged or used for training?

No. Tokenless does not log your prompts or completions and never uses your data for training. Your API keys are hashed at rest.

What happens when my balance runs out?

Requests stop cleanly at a zero balance. There is no debt and no surprise bill. Top up any time, or enable auto-reload.
