RevidAPI is an independent API service. It is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI or the software vendors named in this article.
Claude Code is excellent, but a monthly plan is a lot if you only code a few days a week — and rate limits hit exactly when you are in flow. RevidAPI lets you run Claude Code on a pay-per-token API key instead: top up from $4.50 via PayPal, use it when you need it, and credits never expire.
One-command setup
The Integrations page shows this command with your key already filled in, plus the Windows PowerShell version. It keeps your existing Claude Code settings, MCP servers and tools — you just get a different bill.
What it costs
| Model | Input / 1M tokens | Output / 1M tokens |
|---|---|---|
claude-sonnet-5 |
188 credits (≈ $0.56) | 941 credits (≈ $2.82) |
claude-opus-5-5 |
251 credits (≈ $0.75) | 1,254 credits (≈ $3.76) |
claude-haiku-4-5 |
63 credits (≈ $0.19) | 314 credits (≈ $0.94) |
USD figures use the $4.50 Starter pack (1,500 credits); larger packs cost less per credit. Prices are live from our catalog at publish time — the pricing page is always current.
A typical short Claude Code turn uses a few credits. Long agent sessions resend the whole context each turn, so our installer sets auto-compact at 130k tokens to keep costs predictable.
You get the model you pick
If you select claude-opus-5-5, Opus 5.5 answers. We never silently swap in a cheaper model. Requests rejected upstream are refunded.
