# API Pricing

### Pro Users

Pro subscribers receive a one-time \$10 API credit when upgrading to Pro. Use it to test and build small apps. You can scale your usage by buying credits, buying Diem, or staking VVV.

### Paid Tier

Choose how you pay for API usage:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Buy API Credits">
    Pay in USD via the [API Dashboard](https://venice.ai/settings/api). Credits are applied to usage automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buy Diem (1 Diem = $1/day)">
    Purchase Diem directly. Each Diem grants \$1 of compute per day at the same rates as USD.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stake to Earn Diem (1 Diem = $1/day)">
    Stake tokens to receive daily Diem allocations (each Diem grants \$1 of compute per day). Manage staking and Diem at the [Token Dashboard](https://venice.ai/token).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Model Pricing

All prices are in USD. Diem users pay the same rates (1 Diem = \$1 of compute per day).

### Chat Models

Prices per 1M tokens, with separate pricing for input and output tokens. You will only be charged for the tokens you use.
You can estimate the token count of a chat request using [this calculator](https://quizgecko.com/tools/token-counter).

### Web Search and Scraping

Web Search and Web Scraping features run on dedicated compute infrastructure designed for large-scale crawling and real-time content extraction. These features are usage-based and charged per API call when enabled:

| Feature      |  Venice Models  |   Other Models  | Parameters                  |
| ------------ | :-------------: | :-------------: | --------------------------- |
| Web Search   | \$10 / 1K calls | \$25 / 1K calls | `enable_web_search: true`   |
| Web Scraping | \$10 / 1K calls | \$25 / 1K calls | `enable_web_scraping: true` |

**Venice Models**: `venice-uncensored`, `qwen3-4b`, `mistral-31-24b`, `qwen3-235b`

<Info>
  Web Scraping automatically detects up to 3 URLs per message, scrapes and converts content into structured markdown, and adds the extracted text into model context. These charges apply in addition to standard model token pricing.
