Max
The hardest and highest-stakes work where capability is the first requirement.
95% of ceiling fallback quality floor
Usage-based pricing
Prepaid API usage. No required subscription.
Add credits, use any of Tokaroo's five models, and draw down one balance as requests complete. Keep a card on file; turn threshold-based auto-reload on only when you want it.
Five model choices
The mode controls the routing objective.
There is no seat price attached to a mode. Tokaroo calculates each charge from the completed workload, measured usage, modality, and optimized routing outcome.
Pro
Serious daily technical, business, production, and customer-facing work.
85% of ceiling fallback quality floor
Auto
The default for applications that want Tokaroo to make the whole routing decision.
50% of ceiling fallback quality floor
Fast
Rapid answers, edits, extraction, and interactive back-and-forth.
50% of ceiling fallback quality floor
Basic
Everyday questions and routine tasks where you need an answer, not a project.
No relative quality floor
Quality floors determine which candidates may qualify; they are not price discounts or statistical percentiles. Max uses a 95% of ceiling fallback quality floor, Pro uses an 85% of ceiling fallback quality floor, Fast and Auto each use a 50% of ceiling fallback quality floor, and Basic has no relative quality floor.
How payment works
Fund once, then pay as you use the API.
API access uses prepaid credits. Tokaroo does not require a monthly subscription or take a fixed monthly payment.
Prepaid balance
Add $10, $25, $50, or a custom amount. Completed requests deduct the Tokaroo charge from that balance.
Optional auto-reload
Choose a balance threshold, reload amount, and rolling 30-day charge cap. Nothing reloads unless you enable it.
Receipts
Stripe emails a receipt for every manual purchase and automatic reload.
Spend controls
Use workspace budgets, scoped keys, rate limits, the auto-reload cap, and dashboard reporting.
Account lifecycle
The balance follows actual demand.
Threshold-based auto-reload means Tokaroo charges the saved card only when the remaining balance reaches the level you selected, rather than on an arbitrary monthly date.
Activate
Make an initial credit purchase, save a card, accept the API terms, and create a Tokaroo key.
Use
Successful requests record the Tokaroo mode, input and output tokens, latency, and Tokaroo charge.
Reload
If enabled, auto-reload adds your chosen amount after the balance reaches your chosen threshold, subject to the rolling 30-day cap.
Pause
At a zero balance, paid API access stops with 402 billing_required until credits are added.
Review
The dashboard shows balance, aggregate charges, tokens, requested modes, and defensible aggregate benchmark savings.
Core pricing contract
Simple to fund and straightforward to audit.
Start with Auto unless the workload has a clear cost, latency, or quality requirement.
No seat or mandatory subscription fee
Use all five Tokaroo models from the same balance.
Use the same key across supported compatible API formats.
Keep a saved card for account continuity; auto-reload remains optional.
Review balance, usage, aggregate savings, and receipts in the dashboard.
Customer-safe usage data
Runtime headers provide an opaque trace ID, requested Tokaroo mode, token counts, latency, and Tokaroo charge. Internal provider routes and upstream economics stay private.
Measured quality
See how the mode baskets are built without exposing the serving route.
Tokaroo publishes aggregate evaluation freshness and basket coverage. Concrete model membership remains internal because it changes by task, compatibility, health, and availability.
Classify the work
Quality is measured separately for reasoning, code, math, reading, writing, tools, multilingual, and spatial work.
Set the ceiling
The best fresh measured output in that task family becomes the 100% quality ceiling.
Build the basket
Only compatible candidates clearing the requested mode's quality checks enter its decision basket.
Optimize the route
Tokaroo then weighs speed, price, reliability, context, tools, and availability inside that basket.

Evaluation evidence is limited to successful Tokaroo tests in the latest 30-day window; imported zero-sample signals are excluded. Basket membership, the concrete serving model, the serving provider, and private settlement cost remain internal.
Fund one balance. Route every supported workload.
Create a key, choose Auto, and move to a more specific mode only when the workload calls for it.
