Usage-based settlement

Turn unused AI API capacity into revenue

Register an Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, or Azure OpenAI credential. We meter the usage it generates at official list price, apply a published rate, and settle the difference to your balance.

  • No buyout, no lock-in
  • Pause or remove anytime
  • AES-256-GCM at rest

How it works

Built around the only number that matters: confirmed usage

01

Register and verify

Submit a credential with its provider-specific fields. We run a minimal live probe, then encrypt it with a dedicated data key.

02

Usage becomes a statement

Our settlement system reports metered usage daily. Each record shows the model, the face value at list price, and the rate applied.

03

Withdraw when it clears

After the holding period, earnings become available. Request a PayPal or USDT payout and track every state change.

Credentials are encrypted before they touch the database. Plaintext is never stored.

Rates

Published before you register

A base rate per provider and model family, with a hard floor and ceiling. Volume, remaining validity, and credential source adjust the final number within that band.

What this is not

A settlement layer, not a broker

Most platforms quote a single discount and ask you to hand over control. We publish the formula, show the statement, and let you turn metering off at any time.

Read the full process

Not a buyout

You are not selling a balance for a one-time discount. You are paid for usage that settles, day by day.

Not a marketplace

There is no public listing, no bidding, and no buyer to negotiate with. Rates are the same for everyone.

Not a subscription split

Consumer plans and seat-based subscriptions are not accepted. Only metered API credentials qualify.

Rates published up front

Every provider and model family has a published base rate and a hard floor. No silent repricing.

Usage-based, not buyout

You are paid for metered usage that actually settles, at official list price, not for a promise.

Credentials encrypted at rest

Each credential is sealed with its own AES-256-GCM data key. Plaintext never touches the database.

Withdraw on your terms

PayPal and USDT TRC20 payouts, with a clear fee schedule and a full status history.

Common questions

All questions →
How does apicash.ai work?+

You register a supported API credential, we verify it, and metered usage on that credential is reported back to your dashboard. Each settled usage record is converted to a cash amount using the published rate for its provider and model family.

Which credentials are supported?+

Anthropic API keys, AWS Bedrock IAM credentials with model invocation permission, and Azure OpenAI endpoint credentials. We do not accept consumer subscription plans, free trials, or promotional credits.

Do I have to hand over my account?+

No. You keep ownership and full control of the credential. You can pause or remove it at any time, and metering stops immediately.

How is my payout calculated?+

Billable usage is measured at the provider's official list price, then multiplied by the recovery rate for that provider and model family. Additional factors apply for remaining validity, declared value, and credential source. The result is your gross earning.

When does earnings become available?+

New accounts have a 14-day holding period. The first settled batch is held for 7 days. After that, earnings become available 3 days after they are recorded. A 10% reserve is held for 90 days to cover upstream disputes and credential revocation.

Why is part of my earnings held as a reserve?+

The reserve covers cases where an upstream provider reverses or disputes usage after the fact. It is released back to your available balance 90 days after the related earning is recorded.

Start with one credential. See a statement before you commit.

Registration is free. There is no minimum usage and no obligation to keep a credential active.
