What Phaseo charges

Model usage and Phaseo fees are shown separately so you can see what is charged, by whom, and when.

Managed model usage: Catalog model price. Deducted from your prepaid credits after successful usage. No additional Phaseo request markup.
Credit purchase: 5% top-up fee ($1 minimum). Charged when you purchase credits. It is not charged again for each managed request.
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): 250,000 requests included, then 2.5% of provider-equivalent cost. Your provider bills model usage directly. The allowance resets at the start of each UTC month.
Enterprise preview: Availability is expanding. Workspace identity, governance, and priority support are being prepared for eligible workspaces.
