Billing

BYOK vs Credits.

Pay us or pay Anthropic directly. Your choice.

Two billing paths, same capabilities. Use HumanikOS credits for simplicity or bring your own Anthropic API key for zero markup. Both track every token, both support every feature, both preserve full audit trails.

Console Billing. Track usage, manage credits, and configure auto-reload.

HumanikOS Console — Billing Management

Two Paths

Simplicity or control. Same platform.

Credits

Credits

We handle everything

How it works

Load credits into your account. We handle all Anthropic billing behind the scenes. Every token is tracked and deducted automatically. Auto-reload prevents disruptions.

Pricing

5% transparent platform fee on credit purchases. You specify the compute amount, the fee is added on top. No hidden markups on per-token rates.

Best for

Teams getting started. Unpredictable workloads. Organizations that want simplicity over optimization. Built-in budgeting and auto-reload.

BYOK

Bring Your Own Key

Zero platform markup

How it works

Provide your Anthropic API key. We validate it, encrypt it in our vault, and inject it at runtime. You're billed directly by Anthropic. We never store your key in plaintext or log it.

Pricing

Zero markup from HumanikOS. You pay Anthropic's direct rates. If you have volume discounts or an enterprise contract with Anthropic, those apply automatically.

Best for

High-volume production workloads. Enterprise orgs with existing Anthropic contracts. Cost-conscious teams where the 5% savings add up.

How BYOK Works

Your key. Our infrastructure.

BYOK is not a workaround. It is a first-class billing path with the same security guarantees, the same audit trail, and the same agent capabilities as credits.

1

Provide your key

Enter your Anthropic API key. We validate it with a test request before storing.

2

Encrypted at rest

Key is encrypted immediately in our vault. Never written to disk or logs. Only the last 4 characters are stored as metadata.

3

Assign to workspace or office

Apply your key to an entire workspace or override at the office level. Two-tier hierarchy.

4

Injected at runtime

When an agent makes an LLM call, your key is decrypted in memory and passed directly to Anthropic. Transparent to the agent.

5

Usage tracked, not billed

Every token is logged in your ledger for visibility. But your balance is never deducted — Anthropic bills you directly.

6

Graceful fallback

If your key fails, the platform key is used automatically. No service interruption. You can investigate at your pace.

How Credits Work

Load credits. We handle the rest.

Credits are the simplest way to use HumanikOS. No API keys to manage. No Anthropic account required. Load credits, run agents, track usage — all in one dashboard.

Transparent fee

5% platform fee applied on credit purchases — not on per-token rates. You specify how much compute you want. The fee is added on top. No hidden markups.

Auto-reload

Set a balance threshold and reload amount. When credits drop below the threshold, they refill automatically. No interruption to running agents.

Full usage ledger

Every session logged with model, token counts, cost breakdown, workspace, and office. Immutable append-only records. Paginated history for export and auditing.

Deduplication

Every billing event is checked against existing records. Retries and idempotent requests are never double-billed.

Security & Audit

Both paths. Same guarantees.

Whether you use credits or BYOK, the security model is identical. Every token is tracked. Every session is logged. Keys are encrypted. Access is controlled.

Keys encrypted at rest

Stored in Nexus vault. Decrypted in memory only during API calls. Never logged.

Last-4 visibility only

Metadata shows only the last 4 characters of your key. Full key never returned after storage.

IAM-gated access

Only tenant administrators can manage BYOK keys. Requires TENANT_MANAGE permission.

Immutable usage ledger

Append-only records for every session. Both BYOK and credits tracked identically.

Session deduplication

Every billing event checked for duplicates. No double-billing on retries or failures.

Graceful fallback

If a BYOK key fails mid-session, the platform key takes over. No agent interruption.

Get Started

Start with credits. Switch to BYOK anytime.

No lock-in. Both billing paths support the same features and the same agents. Switch whenever you want.
