Market pain

Direct premium usage is powerful but expensive for many teams.

Serious AI users need strong models, but direct pricing can limit iteration. My Eco Token is a cheaper alternative for premium model usage with better cost visibility.

Premium models can become costly at scale

Direct daily usage may turn routine experimentation into a budget decision.

Budget options can be inconsistent

Some low-cost options are acceptable for simple tasks but struggle on coding, reasoning, and research workloads.

Pricing

Clear plans for different usage levels.

My Eco Token is designed as a cheaper alternative for OpenAI and Anthropic usage, with dashboard controls that help reduce wasted spend.

Use pay-as-you-go for variable volume on OpenAI and Anthropic, or choose a monthly OpenAI plan with included dollar-equivalent usage. Listed allowances are product allowances, not unlimited provider subscriptions.
