Pricing

RouteStack separates recharge from model consumption.

​
Core concepts

  • users recharge into a shared balance or quota pool
  • different models consume quota at different rates
  • different user groups can have different discounts

​
Pricing layers

​
Recharge pricing

Recharge pricing controls how much balance or quota a user gets for a payment.

​
Model pricing

Model pricing controls how much quota is deducted for each request.

​
Group pricing

Group pricing lets you apply different multipliers to different user tiers.

​
Example

If the same request has a base cost of 100 quota:
  • model multiplier 1.0 deducts 100
  • model multiplier 3.0 deducts 300
  • if the user group multiplier is 0.8, the final cost becomes 240
  • keep recharge logic simple
  • use model pricing for product differentiation
  • use group pricing for membership discounts
