On this page
Our pick is Off Grid AI Boost. It’s the only one here with all five of these for apps: a fixed monthly price with no credit meter, entry from $4.99, prompts never stored or trained on, one API key for every model and modality, and serving code that will be open source. It’s a pre-order now, with your API key by January 2027.
We make Off Grid AI Boost, so weigh that, and every price below links to its source.
The flat-rate APIs compared
Checked 16 November 2026 on each service’s own pricing page.
| Service | Price a month | What caps your use | Qwen and DeepSeek | Prompts stored? | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off Grid AI Boost | $4.99, $9.99, $49.99 or $99.99 (cohort 1); $9.99 to $199.99 regular | Limits not yet published | Qwen 3.8 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash named | No (stated promise; Boost privacy policy to follow) | Pre-order now, API key by January 2027 |
| Featherless | Chat $25 flat; Developer $50 in credits, billed per token | Chat: 4 concurrency units, 32K context, interactive use only | Qwen 3.6 and DeepSeek 4 families | No | Live |
| NanoGPT | PRO $12 | 60M input tokens a week; 100 images a day; resets Monday | Yes, plus GLM, Kimi, MiniMax | Not by default | Live |
| Synthetic | Go $9; Standard $30; Big $90 | Weekly credit limit; amount per plan not published | DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen3.8-27B | Homepage says no; an older policy allowed up to 14 days | Live |
| Ollama Cloud | Pro $20 ($60 credit); Max $100 ($300 credit); Team $500 | Monthly credit that doesn’t roll over; Pro 3 requests at a time, Max 10 | DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and V4 Pro; no Qwen in the price table | No | Live |
| Awan LLM | Free; Core $5; Plus $10; Pro $20; Max $80 | Requests a minute and a day; no token cap | Neither; Llama 3 and 3.1 only | No logging of prompts | Live |
Chutes used to belong on this list. Its pricing page now says “Monthly plans are no longer sold,” so it’s pay per token only.
How we picked
A flat-rate API should let you know your bill before the month starts. We ranked on five things, in this order:
- A fixed monthly price with no credit meter. A plan that hands you credits that run out still turns into per-token maths.
- A low entry price. What does the cheapest plan that works with an app cost?
- Prompts never stored or trained on, by default.
- One API key for every model and modality, so text, vision, speech, images and video sit under one bill.
- Serving code you can check, or will be able to.
We also asked whether each service runs Qwen and DeepSeek, since that’s what most people searching for this want. We didn’t count token volume, because Boost hasn’t published its limits and we won’t guess at them.
1. Off Grid AI Boost
Best for: developers who want one predictable bill for open models across every modality, and are fine waiting until January.
Boost is hosted inference for open models on our own GPUs. One API key covers every model on it, including Qwen 3.8 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, across text, vision, speech, voice, embeddings, images and video. You pay one flat price, monthly or yearly, with no per-token maths.
- Price: cohort 1 pays $4.99, $9.99 (recommended), $49.99 or $99.99 a month, and keeps that price for as long as they stay. Regular prices are $9.99, $19.99, $99.99 and $199.99. Cohort 2 gets 25% off and cohort 3 gets 10% off.
- Yearly: you pay 10 months’ price, so two months are free. The page’s “save 58%” compares a cohort 1 year with 12 months at the regular price.
- Limits: not yet published. The page doesn’t say what separates the four plans.
- Privacy: “We don’t keep your prompts or train on them.” That’s our stated promise. A Boost privacy policy hasn’t been published yet.
- Open source: the serving code will be open source. No repo is out yet.
- Status: pre-order now on Stripe, API key by January 2027. We haven’t reviewed it as a running service because it isn’t one yet. The page doesn’t say which Qwen 3.8 size you get.

2. Featherless
Best for: one person chatting with a huge catalogue of open models at a fixed price.
Featherless’s Chat plan is $25 a month, flat, with any model in its catalogue, 4 concurrency units and 32K context. The catch is the use. Featherless says the plan “is for interactive, human-driven use by the purchaser,” and rules out app traffic, background automation and coding agents. For an app you need the Developer plan, which is $50 a month in credits billed per token, with up to 256K context and 100 concurrency units.
- Price: Chat $25 flat; Developer $50 in credits; Business custom.
- Privacy: Featherless says it doesn’t collect or store prompts or completions (privacy). Training isn’t mentioned.

3. NanoGPT
Best for: heavy chat and coding use on a small budget, with a clear weekly allowance.
NanoGPT PRO is $12 a month. It went up from $8 on 12 May 2026. You get 60M input tokens a week, output on included models is free, and 100 images a day. The allowance resets every Monday. Concurrency caps exist but aren’t published. The model list covers GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, MiMo and Qwen.
- Price: PRO $12 a month.
- Limits: 60M input tokens a week, so it’s a fixed price with a token ceiling.
- Privacy: it doesn’t store prompts by default and doesn’t train on them (privacy). The model providers behind it follow their own policies.

4. Synthetic
Best for: coders who want DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Qwen3.8-27B at a fixed price, starting under $10.
Synthetic has three plans, Go at $9, Standard at $30 and Big at $90. Each comes with a weekly credit limit, but the rate limits page doesn’t say how much each plan gets. Models include DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen3.8-27B, GLM and Kimi.
- Price: $9, $30 or $90 a month.
- Limits: weekly credits, amount not published.
- Privacy: the homepage says it never stores or trains on your data. An older 2024 policy allowed up to 14 days of storage for debugging, and the two conflict.

5. Ollama Cloud
Best for: people already using Ollama locally who want DeepSeek in the cloud from the same tool.
Ollama Cloud’s paid plans are a fixed price that buys credit. Pro is $20 a month ($200 a year) with $60 of credit, Max is $100 with $300, and Team is $500. Credits reset monthly and don’t roll over. Pro runs 3 requests at a time and Max runs 10. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash costs $0.30 in and $1.20 out per million tokens, at half price off-peak. There’s no Qwen in the price table.
- Price: Free (pay per token), Pro $20, Max $100, Team $500.
- Limits: the monthly credit and the concurrency cap.
- Privacy: “Prompt or response data is never logged or trained on.” Servers are mainly in the US, sometimes Europe.

6. Awan LLM
Best for: cheap, fixed-price Llama for hobby projects.
Awan LLM caps requests, not tokens. Core is $5 a month with 20 requests a minute and 5,000 small-model requests a day. Plus is $10, Pro is $20 and Max is $80, with higher caps at each step. There’s also a free plan. The models page lists only Llama 3 and 3.1 models (8B and 70B), so there’s no Qwen or DeepSeek. Payment is by PayPal only.
- Price: Free, $5, $10, $20 or $80 a month.
- Limits: requests a minute and a day; context up to 131K on Llama 3.1.
- Privacy: “We do not log user prompts and generations” (privacy). Training isn’t mentioned.

Is Off Grid AI Boost available now?
It’s a pre-order now. You pay today, and your API key arrives by January 2027. Your plan starts then.
What are Boost’s usage limits?
Limits are not yet published. The page doesn’t list requests, tokens, concurrency or context length for any plan.
Does Boost run Qwen and DeepSeek?
Yes. The page names Qwen 3.8 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash “and more.” It doesn’t say which Qwen 3.8 size.
Does Chutes still sell a monthly plan?
No. Its pricing page says monthly plans are no longer sold. It’s pay per token now.
What does Boost’s yearly plan save?
Yearly costs 10 months’ price, which is two months free. The “save 58%” on the page compares a cohort 1 year with a year at the regular monthly price.
Will Boost store my prompts?
Our stated promise is “We don’t keep your prompts or train on them.” A Boost privacy policy will follow.
