About QuotaCheap

OpenAI-compatible AI access with clearer usage visibility and control.

QuotaCheap is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway for developers and teams, offering managed API keys, usage logs, quotas, credits, billing visibility, and cost-efficient AI model access.

What QuotaCheap is

QuotaCheap is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway built for developers, builders, and teams who need practical access to AI models with better cost visibility and control. Instead of spreading provider credentials across projects, teams can create QuotaCheap API keys and call familiar OpenAI-style endpoints through one managed gateway. QuotaCheap handles authentication, model routing, usage logging, quotas, credits, balances, and billing visibility, so builders can focus on shipping products instead of fighting infrastructure.

Why we built QuotaCheap

Modern AI products are no longer just one prompt and one response. A real AI workflow may include multiple model calls, background jobs, agents using tools, retries and fallbacks, different users or workspaces, token-heavy context, and usage spikes that are hard to explain later. Without a proper gateway layer, teams quickly lose visibility into where usage comes from, which project is spending credits, which model is being used, and why costs suddenly increase. QuotaCheap exists to make that layer simpler.

What QuotaCheap provides

QuotaCheap currently offers an OpenAI-compatible API experience through https://api.quota.cheap/v1. Developers can integrate using familiar OpenAI-style routes while managing access through QuotaCheap. Key capabilities include OpenAI-compatible API access, QuotaCheap-managed API keys, server-side upstream credential handling, supported model routing, usage logs, token usage visibility, latency tracking, credit balance management, quota and billing controls, and plan-based log retention and limits.

Built for developers and small teams

QuotaCheap is especially useful for indie hackers building AI products, SaaS teams adding AI features, agencies managing multiple AI projects, developers testing model workflows, AI agent builders who need usage visibility, and teams that want centralized API key and quota management. Whether customers are prototyping a new AI feature or running a production workflow, QuotaCheap gives them a cleaner way to manage model access and usage.

Cost-efficient AI access

One of QuotaCheap's core focuses is cost efficiency. AI usage can become expensive when every project calls models directly without routing, logging, or quota controls. QuotaCheap helps teams improve their AI unit economics by combining optimized model pricing with gateway-level controls. That means customers can better understand which model is being used, how many tokens are consumed, which API key or project generated usage, how much balance remains, and where optimization opportunities exist.

Our approach

QuotaCheap is built around familiar integration, centralized control, transparent usage, cost awareness, and builder-first simplicity. Developers should be able to use OpenAI-compatible endpoints without learning a completely new API style. API keys, usage, quotas, and billing visibility should live in one manageable layer. Teams should be able to see request logs, token usage, latency, and model activity.

Current payment support

QuotaCheap currently supports local Vietnam bank transfer, including Vietcombank. Other payment methods such as cryptocurrency, PayPal, and credit cards are not available at this time.
