APICLAN vs Kunavo

These two are the closest thing each other has to a direct counterpart: same product category, same pitch, different depth in different places. We wrote this one carefully because we are obviously not a neutral party.

What they have in common

Both put frontier models behind a single OpenAI-compatible base URL, bill per token rather than per seat, publish per-model prices below the provider's list rate, and let balance carry over rather than expire. If you are choosing between them, the category decision is already made — what is left is coverage, payment and depth.

Discount depth

Kunavo's site states a range of 30–70% below official pricing. Our published rates run from 25% to 83% below list depending on which group a model sits in.

Read that honestly in both directions. Our deepest tiers go further than their stated ceiling — the GPT-Plus group is 83% below list. Our shallowest tier, Claude CC Max, is 25% below list, which is less deep than the bottom of their stated range. If the model you need sits in our shallow group and in their normal range, they may well be cheaper for you. The only way to settle it is to compare the two specific models you actually plan to call; ours are all on the price list with the official rate printed beside them.

Where they cover more than we do

• More models and more modalities. Their catalogue spans text, image, video and audio. We carry text and image only, and a shorter list within that.
• Card payment. They run Stripe checkout. We take USDT on TRON, which a lot of finance departments will not process. For many buyers that single line ends the comparison before price is reached.
• Volume bonuses. Their deposit tiers add credit above a certain size — a $1,000 deposit is listed as $1,250 of credit. We have a flat rate: 1 USDT gives 2 credits, at any size.
• A fuller site. Thirteen languages across every page, guides, use-case pages and a blog. We are further behind there and it is visible.
• Published operating figures. They publish developer counts, monthly call volume, a 99.95% uptime SLA and a latency figure. We publish none of those, because we could not back them up — and we would rather say that than post a number we cannot stand behind. Note that we are also not in a position to verify theirs.

Where we are more specific

• Every price has a page showing its arithmetic. Each model page carries the official rate, our rate, the ratio, a cost calculator and a worked example taken from real billing on this platform — not an illustrative estimate.
• Prices regenerate from live billing data. The figures on our pages are pulled from what the system actually charged, so a page cannot quietly drift away from the invoice.
• Refunds are stated. Unused balance is refundable within 7 days of a top-up, returned in USDT minus the network fee.

How we would choose

If you need video or audio models, or you must pay by card, the decision is made for you and it is not us. If you are depositing four figures at a time, run their bonus tiers against our flat rate with your own numbers — at that size the bonus may outweigh a per-token gap.

If your workload sits in one of our deep groups and you can pay in USDT, the per-token arithmetic favours us, and it is checkable in a couple of minutes rather than taken on trust. Open the model you actually use on both sites and compare that one number.

We have not tested their service and make no claim about its speed, reliability or output quality. Everything above about Kunavo is quoted from their own public pages as of 2026-09-07; everything about us is on this site with the arithmetic shown.
