Hosted inference
From $10 per month
- Subscription
- Recurring $10 charge each month while subscribed.
- Monthly credit
- Every successful $10 payment grants $20 of inference credit, making the first $20 of usage effectively 50% off provider API pricing. Fresh credit arrives each month and does not accumulate.
- Usage price
- The credit is applied first. After it is used, inference is billed by usage at 10% off provider API prices (90% of the API price), in addition to the monthly subscription.
- Hard cap
- Defaults to $100 per UTC month. Lower it to $0 or raise it without a product-defined maximum. New usage stops at the cap.
- Email warnings
- Start at $20 of monthly usage, then double to $40, $80, and onward for thresholds at or below your cap.

Questions
- Is Jcode free?
- Yes. Jcode is free and open source under the MIT license, with no feature gates. Bring your own API keys, use supported OAuth subscriptions, or run local models.
- What am I agreeing to when I subscribe?
- Stripe charges $10 every month while you are subscribed. Every successful monthly payment grants $20 of inference credit, making the first $20 of usage effectively 50% off provider API pricing. The credit is applied first, then inference moves to usage-based billing at 10% off provider API prices (90% of the API price) in addition to the subscription.
- How does the monthly hard cap work?
- It defaults to $100 per UTC month. You can lower it to $0 or raise it without a product-defined maximum. New hosted-model usage stops at the cap, and changing it does not erase usage already incurred. Warning emails start at $20 of usage and double to $40, $80, and later thresholds at or below the cap.
- Can I keep using Jcode without hosted models?
- Yes. You can keep using your own provider credentials, supported OAuth access, or local models without activating hosted inference.
