Which Channel Should Your Team Use?

Most teams use a mixed approach:

FAQ for Teams

Do we need an enterprise contract?

No. Pay-as-you-go basis. Top up when needed, get refunds for unused balance. Start with as little as $50.

Can we control individual spending?

Yes. The team dashboard lets you set per-Key quotas and get alerts. You'll never have surprise bills.

What if a developer leaves?

Revoke their Key instantly from the dashboard. Their unused balance returns to the team pool.

Do you support both Cursor and Claude Code users?

Yes. The same API Key works across all tools: Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, JetBrains, OpenClaw, and more. Mixed-tool teams are common.

Our company requires invoices. Is that possible?

Yes. We provide invoices and support bank transfers for team/company purchases.
