Concept

MeinGPT combines a fixed platform base fee with the cost of your actual usage: on top of the base fee, you only pay for what you actually consume. This way, we have no incentive to keep your usage artificially 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. Each has its own price (see the pricing page). Tool calls (e.g. search, reading a website) don't have a price of their own — they show up as the extra tokens they add to text generation.

Example 1: A single chat

A chat with GPT-4o, short history:

Unit reminder: 1.62 credits is 1.62 cents — not 1.62 €.

If the AI uses tools along the way (e.g. a search or reading a website), there's no separate flat fee for that — the extra tokens a tool call produces simply count toward the input/output length of the text generation.

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.

Your profile shows personal usage by category and, if your admin enables the model view, by model. The model view includes only charged transactions with a recorded model, so it is not a complete record of free or inclusive usage.
