Pricing
Compute at cost + 3%, dropping to + 1%past $500/month. That’s the whole model.
No seats, no tiers, no “contact us” for the real number. One ledger, every fact a row.
| Fact | Self-serve | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | compute cost + 3% pass-through, + 1% past $500/month | $5,000/yr flat |
| Compute markup | +3% → +1% past $500/mo | +0% — compute at cost |
| Billing | prepaid credits | annual invoice |
| Free credit | $3.00 on email verification, no card | pilot on your own traffic |
| Minimum top-up | $5.00 | — |
| Routing | cheapest right-sized model, automatic escalation | same router, tunable per-route quality bars |
| Fine-tuned models | — | tuned on your own accumulated traffic, owned by you |
| Deployment | shared cloud | self-hosted on your infrastructure — your data never leaves your network |
| Your data | request logs in your dashboard, exportable | accumulates on your infra as a routing + fine-tuning asset; we help you turn it into your own models |
| Providers | our routed provider pool | bring your own — route through your existing provider accounts and negotiated rates |
| Receipts | per-response x-vynaris-* headers + CSV export | same, plus monthly signed statement |
| Support | email, public issue tracker | direct line to the founder |

Compute billed at provider list price. Every request’s served model and cost appear on the response and in your exportable ledger.
Billing rules we hold ourselves to
Three pledges, in writing.
Your deposit stays your money
Unused credits are refundable on request, minus payment-processing fees. No silent forfeiture — if anything about credit terms ever changes, you hear it from us first, not from a ToS diff.
We never inflate the savings number
Savings are computed per request, against the model you actually asked for, at list price — and the raw ledger is exportable as CSV so you can recompute it.
No surprise charges
Auto top-up is a rule you write — your threshold, your amount, your monthly cap — and every automatic charge is emailed to you with a one-click off switch. No charge ever happens that you didn’t configure.
The obvious question
How is 3% a business?
We run no GPUs and train no frontier models — the routing layer is cheap to operate. Your savings come from right-sizing requests, not from us subsidizing you, and flat enterprise fees carry the company. The markup covers infrastructure, evals, and support. That’s the whole trick; if the math ever changes, the pricing page changes first.
How we operate
Our conduct, in writing.
Honest errors, always
If we’re down, you get a 5xx and a status note that says so — never a misleading auth error that sends you debugging your own keys.
No silent model changes
Route changes to cheaper models show on your receipts by definition. Model removals get advance notice. What we can’t control is upstream weather: when a provider fails, we fail over where routes allow and tell you exactly what happened.
If Vynaris ever shuts down
90 days’ notice and unused credits refunded. Leaving is a one-line base_url change back to direct APIs — zero lock-in is a property of the architecture, not a promise.
