Low-cost decentralized AI API pricing explained
Understand usage-based model pricing, current token rates, cost controls, and how to compare decentralized AI APIs.
The short answer
Gonka Broker offers low-cost decentralized AI inference with usage-based pricing and no monthly subscription. Customers pay for the model usage they consume.
Why decentralized inference can cost less
Decentralized networks can source compute from independent providers while a lean API gateway handles compatibility, routing and usage accounting. The result is an inexpensive API that fits existing developer tools.
How billing works
Usage records make it possible to track model consumption while account limits keep spending controlled.
Current rate
The verified customer rate is 10 nGONKA per input or output token, equivalent to 0.01 GNK per one million total billed tokens.
How to compare providers
- Compare the final price for the same model.
- Check for subscriptions, minimum spend and payment costs.
- Confirm the model route and verification date.
- Review unused-credit rules and operational limits.
- Run a small request and verify the recorded usage.
