Placeholder pricing for design review · rates set at launch.

Built and billed for Bangladesh.

Forget international-card friction and separate USD balances. Add funds locally and spend one BDT wallet across every model in the directory.

  • Charges metered per token, in Taka

    Fractional amounts down to ৳0.01. No coin conversions, no rounding up to a package.

  • Prepaid, so spend can never surprise you

    The wallet is the ceiling. Budgets and per-key limits sit underneath it.

  • Failed requests are not billed

    Upstream errors and rate-limit rejections are reconciled back to your balance.

Never wake up to an unexpected AI bill.

Every key carries its own daily and monthly ceiling. Alerts fire before the limit; the hard stop refuses requests at it, in the gateway, before the provider is called.

Let the router choose.

Request a virtual model instead of a specific one. The gateway scores the models it can actually reach on quality, price and latency, forwards to the best fit, and reports which model answered in x-padma-model.

  • auto/cheap

    Lowest-cost model that clears the task

  • auto/fast

    Lowest measured time to first token

  • auto/smart

    Best quality per Taka on your traffic mix

  • auto/bangla

    Ranked on our internal Bangla prompt set

A provider with no upstream configured is not a low-scoring candidate — it is not a candidate. Routing weights and the Bangla evaluation set are not final.

Works with the tools you already run

The gateway speaks the OpenAI chat-completions and embeddings shape, so anything that accepts a custom base URL can point at it.

Compatibility target list for the prototype. Each integration is verified before it ships to the docs.

Pay only for what you use.

No subscription, no seats, no minimum monthly commitment. You add BDT balance and each request deducts its actual token cost at the model's published rate.
