Draft Pricing Structure Exact dollar rates, included budgets, and model availability will be published after capacity and power-cost benchmarking. No customer will be asked to enroll without a clear rate sheet.

You Control the Limit

Your Budget Ends.
Your Choice Begins.

A token budget should make spending predictable—not create an interruption trap. Choose the behavior that fits the way you work, and change it for a future billing period.

Straight Answers

Know What
You’re Buying.

Need a specific capacity or privacy arrangement?
Ask Us Directly

When Will Exact Prices Be Available?

Before paid enrollment. We’re benchmarking real throughput, power use, concurrency, model mix, and support cost so the rate sheet is sustainable and honest. This page currently describes the pricing architecture, not a binding offer.

How Does Pay as You Go Work?

Your account records content-free usage totals and bills at the published rate for the service and model used. There is no monthly token commitment. Minimums, billing cadence, and payment terms will be disclosed before enrollment.

What Happens When My Subscription Budget Runs Out?

You choose in advance: continue automatically at the published metered rate, pause and ask for approval, or stop new requests until the budget resets. The final customer dashboard should make that setting explicit and easy to change.

Does ArthenServe Keep My Prompts or Results for Billing?

No. Billing and service operations need totals, timestamps, model selection, status, and account identifiers—not the content of your prompts, files, or results. Read the full distinction in the ArthenServe data-handling promise.

What Does “Uncensored” Mean Here?

ArthenServe can offer eligible open-weight models without an outside vendor’s prompt moderation layer for lawful use. It does not waive applicable law, guarantee every model will answer every prompt, or prevent your chosen client from applying its own safeguards.

Are Tokens the Right Unit for Every Service?

No. Language models are naturally metered in input and output tokens. Transcription is clearer by audio minute, while image and video work may use generations, steps, resolution, or compute time. Every rate sheet should use the unit that customers can actually understand.

Can I Get Dedicated Capacity or a Team Plan?

That belongs in the bespoke tier. Tell us about concurrency, model, throughput, retention, and support requirements. We’ll confirm whether dedicated capacity is practical and provide written scope before any commitment.
