SHIPSAFE-STYLE DAILY CAP
HTTP 402 — spend halted, alert fired at 50% / 80% / 100% of cap.
We price the average prompt and completion separately, add them, then multiply by request volume.
(prompt ÷ 1M × input rate) + (completion ÷ 1M × output rate)Generated tokens usually cost more than prompt tokens. A chatty response can dominate your bill even with short prompts.
The included table is a representative Sep 2026 snapshot, not a quote. Verify current provider rates before budgeting.
ShipSafe puts per-key daily/monthly caps, HTTP 402 hard cutoffs, threshold alerts, a kill switch, and Stripe usage metering on the request path. Presale $49 (launch price $249).
