Pricing & credits

Understand how KushRouter charges usage and applies discounts across providers.

Dual discount policy

We apply a platform-wide discount compared to direct provider pricing. Current settings:

• Our discount: 30% off provider list price (configurable in config/models.ts via OUR_DISCOUNT_PERCENT).
• Provider pricing alias: Referenced from config/models.ts as PROVIDER_PRICING for comparisons.

When you invoke any endpoint, costs are normalized to the provider’s token units and then discounted before deducting credits.

Credit consumption

• Every request deducts credits using discounted pricing, even when routed through OpenAI, Anthropic, or Vertex AI proxies.
• Streaming and non-streaming requests both apply the same pricing rules.
• Usage is aggregated in the dashboard and via the /api/v1/usage endpoint.

Billing statements

The dashboard shows:

• Total credits consumed by timeframe (24h, 7d, 30d)
• Top models by spend
• Alerts when credits drop below configured thresholds
