Frequently asked questions
Do credits expire?
Never. Credits stay in your account until you use them. No monthly fees, no pressure.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you have unused credits, we refund them proportionally to what you paid. Contact us anytime.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. Create an account for free and explore the docs. Add credits when you're ready to start building.
Why can't I just use DeepSeek or Doubao directly?
DeepSeek requires a Chinese phone number for SMS verification. Doubao (ByteDance) has no straightforward international sign-up. We handle all of that so you don't have to.
Is the API OpenAI-compatible?
Yes. Change your base URL to api.chatgpttech.mobi/v1 and your existing OpenAI SDK code works without modification.
How is this cheaper than ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro?
ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro are $20/month each — you pay whether you use them or not. We charge per token at half the rate, no subscription. If you don't call the API for a week, you don't pay anything.
What payment methods are supported?
Credit and debit cards via Stripe. More methods coming soon.
