Concept

Our goal at meinGPT is to maximize customer value through regular, extensive platform usage. To achieve this, we use a pricing model where you pay a fixed platform base fee plus the actual usage of AI services. This way we have no incentive to artificially keep usage low.

How credits work

One credit equals one euro cent. So 10,000 credits equal 100 EUR.

What does an action cost?

Credits are charged based on usage. The cost of an individual action depends on:

• Model choice — reasoning models and premium LLMs consume more credits per token than cheaper standard models. You can find the full per-token table on All models.
• Input and output length — measured in tokens. Long conversations and verbose answers consume more.
• Additional features — image generation, translation, audio transcription, workflow steps, tool calls. Each has its own price (see the pricing page).

Example 1: A single chat

A chat with GPT-4o, short history:

Unit reminder: 2.66 credits is 2.66 cents — not 2.66 €.

Example 2: A productive workday

A heavy user who actively reaches for premium models and image generation:

A single chat costs a few cents. Consumption becomes order-of-magnitude relevant only with frequent use of premium models, high-resolution image generation, and complex workflows.

Cents vs. euros — good to know

Across the platform you see amounts almost everywhere directly in euros — balance, consumption, and limits are all shown as euro values. Credits are the internal billing unit (one credit = one cent) and only still appear explicitly in a few places, such as the auto-topup threshold.

If you do come across a credit figure: credits are cents. 8,500 credits = 85.00 €. If a number looks surprisingly large, check the unit.
