Pay Only For What You Use
No subscriptions, no hidden setup fees, and no recurring bills. You pay a small, fixed fee per question directly on-chain.
Per-Query Cost
Every question you ask costs exactly 0.01 USDm (pegged to 1 US Cent) sent to our pay-gate contract. Celo network gas fees are extra but typically average less than $0.001 per transaction.
Fee Adjustment Policy
The query fee is configurable in the deployed smart contract. The owner may adjust this value up or down to align with downstream AI LLM API provider costs. The interface will always display the current live fee fetched directly from the blockchain before you confirm any payment.
