Introducing claudeapi.cheap — Claude API at 50% Off

We're launching the cheapest way to access Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. Here's how it works.

Why We Built This

Claude is one of the most powerful AI models available. But for many developers, the official API pricing can be a barrier — especially for startups, indie developers, and researchers.

That's why we created claudeapi.cheap: a proxy service that gives you access to all Claude models at 50% off official Anthropic pricing.

How It Works

1. Sign up for a free account

2. Top up your balance with crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH)

3. Get an API key

4. Replace your Anthropic base URL — that's it

Your existing code works with zero changes. We're fully compatible with the Anthropic Messages API and both the Python and Node.js SDKs.

Pricing Tiers

  • Free: 30% off, 10 req/min
  • Pro ($29/mo): 40% off, 120 req/min
  • Ultimate ($49/mo): 50% off, 500 req/min
  • Currently in Beta

    We're launching in Beta. Expect some rough edges, but the core API proxy is solid and battle-tested. We're actively adding features and would love your feedback.
