Capacity for Claude and ChatGPT plans is estimated from each vendor's published tier levels and weekly limits as of September 2026; neither publishes a fixed message count.
Three things that make AI coding expensive, and what happens to them here
The bill you cannot predict
Per-token billing charges you for every character that moves. One afternoon of agent work on a large codebase can quietly run into three figures, and you only find out at the end of the month.
One flat price. The same on your heaviest day as your lightest.
Locked out halfway through the job
Subscription plans meter you in five-hour windows with a weekly ceiling on top. You hit the wall in the middle of a refactor and wait, or pay again to keep going.
No session windows, no weekly ceiling. A clean daily allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC.
Five providers, five keys, five invoices
Claude for reasoning, GPT for tooling, DeepSeek for volume. Each with its own account, its own billing, its own SDK quirks, and its own thing to rotate when it leaks.
One OpenAI-compatible key for every provider, and one invoice.
Pick a plan, keep the difference
One flat price a month, every provider included. Every new account starts with a 50-request free trial, no card required.

# Set these once in your shell profile or .env
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://apiclaw.biz/v1
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-apiclaw-key
# Then use Claude Code normally

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about APIClaw, flat-rate billing, and getting started.
How does APIClaw compare to a $100 Claude Max or ChatGPT Pro subscription?
The $19 Plus plan already covers more monthly working capacity than the $100 tier from either vendor, and the $129 Ultimate Max plan covers several times the $200 tier. The larger difference is shape rather than size: those subscriptions meter you in five-hour sessions with a weekly ceiling on top, so you get stopped mid-task. APIClaw gives you a daily allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC with no session window and no weekly ceiling.
Why is APIClaw cheaper than paying a provider directly?
Direct API billing charges for every token in and out, and coding agents resend the whole conversation on every turn, so a single long session can cost more than a month of APIClaw. A flat monthly plan removes the per-token meter entirely; your bill is identical on your heaviest day and your lightest.
What is the catch?
Your plan sets how many requests you can make per day, and heavier models draw on that allowance faster than lighter ones, which is why each plan lists a separate daily figure for every model tier. There is no token meter, no session window and no weekly cap. If you outgrow a plan you can move up at any time and the new allowance applies immediately.
Is APIClaw affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI?
No. APIClaw is an independent gateway. It routes your requests to the underlying models through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and it is not endorsed by or affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or Cursor.
Can I cancel, and what happens to my plan?
Plans are monthly and do not auto-renew into a contract; you simply stop paying for the next month. Your key keeps working until the current period ends, and your dashboard shows the expiry date. Message support on Telegram if you need help with a billing question.
What does 'unlimited tokens per request' mean?
There is no cap on the number of input or output tokens in a single API call. You can send a 200,000-token context window and receive a full response without hitting a per-request token ceiling. Your plan controls how many requests you can make per day, not the size of each one.
Is the Claude API access truly unlimited?
Yes — unlimited means no per-token charges and no token caps per request. Your monthly subscription gives you a daily request quota (for example, 500 requests/day on Plus). Each of those requests can be as large as the underlying model allows.
How do I use APIClaw with Claude Code?
Set the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variable to your APIClaw endpoint and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to your APIClaw key. Claude Code will route all requests through APIClaw, giving you flat-rate billing instead of per-token Anthropic charges.
How do I connect APIClaw to Cursor?
In Cursor Settings → Models, add a custom OpenAI-compatible provider. Set the base URL to your APIClaw endpoint and paste your APIClaw API key. All supported models will appear in the model picker.
What is a flat-rate AI API, and how is it different from pay-per-token?
Pay-per-token means your bill grows every time a model generates output — the more you use it, the more you pay. APIClaw charges a fixed monthly fee regardless of how many tokens flow through your requests. Heavy users save significantly; predictable billing is built in.
What AI providers does APIClaw support?
APIClaw routes to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, Meta (Llama), DeepSeek, Cohere, and xAI (Grok) through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The lineup expands as new providers become production-ready.
Which coding tools and IDEs work with APIClaw?
Any tool that accepts a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL works out of the box. This includes Cursor, Claude Code, Kilo Code, Codex CLI, Hermes, OpenClaw, Windsurf, OpenCode, VS Code with AI extensions, and JetBrains IDEs. See the setup guides at /docs/ for step-by-step instructions.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account starts with a free trial that includes 50 lifetime requests across all supported providers. No credit card is required to sign up. When you exhaust the trial requests, you can upgrade to any paid plan.
What are the daily request limits?
Daily limits depend on your plan: Plus gives 500 requests/day, Pro 1,000, Max 1,500, Ultimate 3,000, Ultimate Plus 4,000, Ultimate Pro 6,000, and Ultimate Max 8,000. Limits reset at midnight UTC. If you need higher limits, message us on Telegram at https://t.me/Apiclaw\_support about a Custom plan.
When do daily request limits reset?
All daily request counters reset at 00:00 UTC. Unused requests do not roll over to the next day.
Does APIClaw impose rate limits on token usage within a single request?
No. APIClaw does not apply any token-level rate limiting on your behalf. Underlying provider limits (such as context window sizes) still apply, but APIClaw itself does not add additional token restrictions.
Can I switch between providers mid-subscription?
Yes. Your APIClaw key works with all supported providers simultaneously. Simply change the model name in your request to switch providers — no plan changes or additional keys needed.
Is APIClaw's API compatible with existing OpenAI SDK code?
Yes. APIClaw exposes a fully OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Change the base URL and API key in your existing OpenAI SDK setup and your code will work without any other modifications.
Do you support crypto or alternative payment methods?
Yes. APIClaw supports crypto billing via NOWPayments. No credit card is required.
What is included in all paid plans?
Every paid plan — Plus through Ultimate Max — includes highest RPM speed, good TPM speed, unlimited token usage (no cap), access to all supported AI providers, a fully OpenAI-compatible API, daily UTC reset of request counts, crypto billing support, and a dashboard for managing API keys and monitoring usage.
What happens if I hit my daily request limit?
Requests beyond your daily quota will return an error response until the counter resets at 00:00 UTC. You can upgrade your plan at any time to increase your daily limit, and the new quota takes effect immediately.
