# Pricing
Routstr's pricing engine lets you act as a retailer of AI compute. You pay upstream providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) at their rates and sell to clients with your markup.
---
## Pricing Strategies
Configure these in **Dashboard****Settings****Pricing**.
### Dynamic Pricing (Default)
Passes through upstream costs plus your percentage markup.
**Formula**: `Client Price = Upstream Cost × Exchange Fee × Upstream Fee`
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| **Exchange Fee** | Buffer for BTC price volatility | 1.005 (0.5%) |
| **Upstream Fee** | Your profit margin | 1.10 (10%) |
**Example**: GPT-4 costs $30/1M tokens from OpenAI. With default settings:
- Price: $30 × 1.005 × 1.10 = $33.17/1M tokens
- At $60k BTC: ~55,000 sats/1M tokens
### Fixed Pricing
Charge a flat rate per request, regardless of model or token count.
| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Fixed Pricing** | Enable flat-rate mode |
| **Fixed Cost** | Sats per request |
**Best for**: Simple proxies, internal tools, or subscription-like access.
---
## Per-Model Pricing
Override pricing for specific models in **Dashboard****Models**.
1. Click on a model
2. Enter custom **Prompt Price** and **Completion Price** (USD per 1M tokens)
3. Save
This overrides both the upstream cost and your global markup for that model.
**Example**: Lock GPT-4 at $35/1M tokens regardless of OpenAI's actual rate or your fee settings.
---
## Token-Based Overrides
Set global fixed rates per token (overrides dynamic pricing for all models):
| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Fixed Per 1K Input** | Sats per 1,000 prompt tokens |
| **Fixed Per 1K Output** | Sats per 1,000 completion tokens |
---
## Minimum Charge
Prevent spam with a minimum cost per request:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| **Min Request Cost** | Minimum charge in msats | 1000 (1 sat) |
If a request's calculated cost is lower than this, the client pays the minimum instead.
---
## Cost Tracking
Routstr tracks balances in **millisats (msats)** for precision with cheap models.
- 1 sat = 1,000 msats
- API responses include cost in msats
- Lightning withdrawals round down to whole sats
### Client Verification (RIP-05)
Clients can verify charges:
1. Fetch `/v1/models` for your advertised rates
2. Calculate expected cost from token counts
3. Compare to `x-routstr-cost` response header
