Model Pilot

Current free period.

All accounts have the same currently available features. No Credits are deducted or reserved for AI usage during the free period. A zero balance does not block usage; account, setup and safety requirements still apply.

Account creation is free. New public Manager accounts receive 1000 starter Credits once, not per Model.

One wallet for your Models

100 Credits = USD 1. Your Models use one shared balance instead of separate Model subscriptions.

Pay per use

Actual usage
Not a fixed price per message

After the free period, the pay-per-use model uses shared Credits. Cost for paid usage depends on the AI model and the tokens used, not on a feature subscription.

  • Input, output, and cache accounting.
  • Reasoning is part of output, not an extra charge.
  • Paid AI usage requires sufficient available Credits.

How later paid usage works

The rates below describe paid usage, not current free-period deductions. Charges use the configured model rates and actual reported token usage. One message can involve more than one AI request.

Token category What is counted How it is charged
Input tokens The prompt and context sent to the AI model. Uncached input uses the input rate; cached input is accounted for separately below.
Cached input Reported cached tokens are part of input, not extra tokens. The cached portion uses the cache rate and is not charged again at the uncached input rate.
Output tokens Generated tokens, including reasoning where reported. The output rate applies to the reported output tokens.
Reasoning tokens Reported reasoning tokens are part of output. Shown separately when reported, not added again to output charges.
Payments are currently unavailable. You can prepare a credit purchase in Billing, but it remains unpaid and adds no Credits. Creating an account does not initiate a payment or recurring subscription.

This explanation covers token-based AI usage. Fanvue fan subscriptions, tips, and content purchases are separate from Model Pilot Credits. Model Pilot does not take a percentage of your Fanvue earnings.
