Why top-up UX affects conversion
Developers hesitate when they cannot tell how credits work, where keys are configured or why balance changed. A clear top-up and usage path improves paid conversion.
Developer API top-up
Keep API credits and usage in one workflow
Developers do not need complicated plans first. They need to know remaining credits, who is calling the API, which project is spending and when to top up.
Shared credits
Use one top-up flow across supported AI models.
Pay as you go
Credits are consumed by actual API usage, which fits variable product demand.
Auditable records
Use call logs and billing details to understand project costs.
How teams manage top-ups
Create separate API keys for projects or environments and review usage regularly. This keeps budgets visible and helps locate abnormal consumption.
FAQ
How soon can I use credits after topping up?
Credits are usually available once payment is confirmed and the dashboard balance updates.
Can I review past billing records?
Yes. Usage and balance records help teams review costs over time.
