๐Ÿค– General Questions

PayGo.Network is your friendly neighborhood AI chat service that won't require you to sell a kidney. We provide access to OpenAI's latest models (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, etc.) with transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, just pure AI goodness at wholesale prices (plus a tiny markup to keep our servers running).

It's simple math: 1 credit = $0.001 (that's 1/10th of a cent).

You buy credits, we deduct them as you chat. No monthly fees, no commitments, no awkward breakup conversations.

The actual cost depends on:

  • Which AI model you're using (GPT-4o-mini is the cheapest)
  • How long your messages are
  • How verbose the AI decides to be

Great question! Here's the deal:

  • ChatGPT Plus: $20/month whether you use it once or 1000 times
  • PayGo.Network: Pay only for what you use (most users spend $2-5/month)
  • No usage caps or "You've reached your limit" messages
  • Access to the same models (we're basically cousins)
  • Your unused credits never expire

Perfect for casual users, developers testing APIs, or anyone who hates subscriptions as much as we do.

This is public beta 1.

Because deeper iterations never helped a regular user. Why? Because this is one man show.

I need to know how to adjust the infrastructure, SEO, fix bugs, etc.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing & Billing

Here's the current pricing (subject to change when OpenAI feels like it):

GPT-4o-mini: ~$0.0002 per message (cheapest!)
GPT-3.5-turbo: ~$0.0025 per message
GPT-4o: ~$0.02 per message

* Actual costs vary based on message length. We show the exact cost after each response.

Our service fees vary from 10% to 25% depending on the model and context size. Here's a real example:

Example: GPT-4o-mini message with image

OpenAI base cost: $0.0124
Service fee (varies 10-25%): +$0.0031
Total cost: $0.0155 (16 credits)

Why do we charge service fees?
These fees help us cover:

  • Infrastructure costs (servers, databases, CDN)
  • OpenAI API premium access fees
  • Payment processing fees
  • Business taxes and compliance
  • Development of new features
  • 24/7 service availability

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: GPT-4o-mini typically has the lowest service fees due to its efficiency!

Nope! Your credits are immortal (unlike us). Buy them today, use them in 2030. We don't believe in expiration dates for digital goods. That's just mean.

We currently accept:

  • Credit/Debit cards (via Stripe)
  • Cryptocurrency (because we're cool like that)
  • NOT accepting: IOUs, promises, or your firstborn

๐Ÿ”ง Technical Stuff

Yes! Models with the ๐Ÿ“Ž icon support image uploads. Just click the paperclip, select your image, and watch the magic happen. Perfect for "explain this meme" or "what's wrong with my code screenshot" moments.

Your chats are as private as a diary with a lock (that actually works):

  • We don't train on your data
  • We don't sell your data
  • We don't even read your chats (too busy, honestly)
  • You can share chats publicly if YOU want to

Check our Privacy Policy for the boring legal version.

We've instructed all our AI models to be nice, but if one starts planning world domination or suggests pineapple on pizza, please use the "Need help?" button immediately. This is not a drill.

Honestly? We're all just different coffee shops on the same street, serving the same beans from the same supplier (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).

Think of it this way: Some shops have jazz music and velvet couches. Others have standing desks and productivity podcasts. One has cats. Another has board games. We decided to be the one with transparent pricing on the wall and a tip jar labeled "Credits."

The beautiful thing about the AI proxy market is it's like the Wild West, but friendlier and with better documentation. There's room for everyone:

  • The Enterprise Folks: They wear suits to Zoom calls and say "synergy" unironically
  • The Indie Hackers: Built their proxy in a weekend, added dark mode in another
  • The Privacy Zealots: Your data goes through more tunnels than a Swiss train
  • Us: We just really hate subscriptions and think credits should last forever

"Competition is a sin," said John D. Rockefeller. "Competition is hilarious," said the internet. We're going with the internet on this one.

TL;DR: We're all middlemen with different vibes. Pick the one that matches your energy. We're the "pay-as-you-go with a side of sarcasm" option. โ˜•

Mad at us? We're their favorite kind of customer! We pay our bills on time, follow their terms of service, and essentially work as their unpaid sales team. It's like asking if Coca-Cola is mad at convenience stores.

Here's our relationship status with the AI overlords:

  • OpenAI: We're cool. They get their API fees, we get to make jokes. Win-win. ๐Ÿค
  • Anthropic: Claude is coming soonโ„ข! They seem chill about proxies. Very constitutional of them. ๐Ÿ“œ
  • Google: Gemini integration pending. They're too busy naming things to be mad. ๐ŸŽฒ
  • Meta: Llama's open source, they literally want us to use it. Thanks Zuck! ๐Ÿฆ™
  • Microsoft: We... don't talk about Microsoft. (But Azure OpenAI exists, so... complicated? ๐Ÿคท)

Fun fact: These companies WANT ecosystem partners. We handle customer support, billing headaches, and feature requests they don't want to deal with. We're basically their outsourced complaints department that pays them for the privilege.

* Disclaimer: No AI companies were harmed in the making of this service. Except maybe Microsoft's feelings, but that's a feature, not a bug.

๐Ÿš€ The Future

CHATBOTS ARE JUST THE BEGINNING, ANON.

You think we're stopping at text generation? That's like inventing the internet and only using it for email. We're building the AWS of AI services, except without the soul-crushing corporate dystopia part.

Coming Soonโ„ข (actually soon, not Valve soon):

  • ๐Ÿง  ALL the LLMs: Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and whatever else the AI labs cook up
  • ๐ŸŽจ Image Generation: DALL-E, Midjourney API, Stable Diffusion - make your memes professionally
  • ๐ŸŽฌ Video Generation: Because why should Hollywood have all the fun?
  • ๐ŸŽต Audio & Music: From voice cloning to sick beats
  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ Whatever Else Gets Invented: We'll add it before the corporate overlords can lock it behind a $200/month subscription

The goal? One account, one credit balance, access to every AI service on the planet. Pay for what you use, use what you need. No subscriptions, no bullshit, just pure computational power at your fingertips. The future is pay-per-use, and we're driving the fucking bus.

Fair question. Here's why we're different from every other "revolutionary AI platform" pitch deck:

  1. No VC money = No pressure to enshittify the product
  2. We use our own product daily (dogfooding is real)
  3. Small team = We can move fast without 47 meetings
  4. We hate subscriptions as much as you do

But don't trust us. Watch us. We ship updates faster than your corporate job ships excuses.

๐Ÿฆˆ Business & Crypto

Fuck you.

But also...

Send us an email: business@paygo.network

(We'll probably tell you to fuck off more politely in private, but hey, money talks and bullshit walks, right?)

You're an idiot to think that EVERYTHING crypto related is bad.

Find a better solution for micropayments, I dare you! Go ahead, I'll wait...

Solana is gud tek:

  • Near-instant transactions (unlike your bank wire)
  • Costs fractions of a cent (unlike credit card fees)
  • Works globally (unlike your "international" banking)
  • No chargebacks from scammers
  • No middlemen taking 3% cuts

Look, we get it - crypto bros ruined crypto's reputation. But the technology is actually useful for specific things, like letting people pay for AI chats without giving Visa/Mastercard their pound of flesh. If you have a better solution that's cheaper, faster, and works globally, we're all ears. Until then, cope and seethe.

Please, an AI wrote this shit. I'm not that smart.
