The price list

Percent of list, by tier and data policy

You pay this share of each provider's public list price.

Research Share pricing applies to every model. See each model's prices in the catalog. Guest has a single price because Research Share is a condition of the Guest tier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Bearer Club?

The warehouse club for AI APIs. One API key and one OpenAI-compatible endpoint give you 69 closed and open-weight models. Members get wholesale pricing below each provider's public list price.

Do I have to change my code?

Barely. Set your OpenAI SDK's base URL to https://api.bearer.club/v1 and use your Bearer Club key. Tools that speak the OpenAI API, like Cursor, Cline, Continue, Open WebUI and LiteLLM, can point at us too.

Which models can I use?

Guests get open-weight models. Members and Executives get every model in the catalog. Each model is offered only in the regions its provider supports, and the catalog shows availability.

How much do members save?

Members save up to 20% and Executives up to 30% off list price. Guests get 5% off open-weight models. Your exact discount depends on the model type (closed or open-weight) and the data policy you pick for each key. See the full table on the Pricing page.

How can you sell below list price?

Membership fees, bulk purchasing and efficient open-weight hosting fund member pricing. Every price sits next to the provider's public list price, so you can check the math.

What's the difference between Private and Research Share?

Private: Your prompts and outputs are never used for training and never shared or licensed. We keep an encrypted copy of request content for 30 days for security and debugging. Research Share: you opt in and pay less, and the scrubbed data from that key will be used to accelerate AGI and supplied to top frontier labs for AGI purposes. Members and Executives choose per API key and can switch anytime. Guest keys always use Research Share.

Will my data be used to train AI models?

Yes, if you opt in. Prompts and outputs from Research Share keys are scrubbed for personal data and secrets, then will be used to accelerate AGI and supplied to top frontier labs for AGI purposes. Buyers are contractually barred from re-identifying people or reselling it. Private keys are never used for training or licensed; we keep request content only for 30 days, encrypted, for security and debugging.

What do Guests get?

Open-weight models at 95% of list (5% off) with no membership fee, plus a playground you can use once you are signed in. Research Share is a condition of the Guest tier: prompts and outputs from Guest keys will be used to accelerate AGI and supplied to top frontier labs for AGI purposes. You opt in at signup and must be 18 or older. Guest usage is capped at $10,000 per calendar year. Past that, upgrade to Member. Guest signups aren't available in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland at launch.

How do credits and payments work?

Usage is prepaid. Top up with a card. Credits expire 12 months after purchase. Unused credits are refundable within 7 days of purchase.

What's the 100% Membership Satisfaction Guarantee?

If you're not satisfied with your membership, we'll refund your membership fee. Just ask within 7 days of purchase, as long as you haven't used your account yet (an API or Playground request counts as use). See the Refund Policy for details.

Does my membership renew, and can I upgrade or downgrade?

Member and Executive memberships are annual subscriptions. They renew automatically every 12 months at the then-listed price of your plan, charged to your card on the anniversary of your purchase, until you cancel. We email you 30, 7 and 1 days before each charge. You can upgrade from Member to Executive at any time. You pay the difference in annual fees ($1,999 minus $199 is $1,800), your renewal date stays the same, and Executive prices apply right away, and if your first membership came with a welcome credit, that credit is topped up by the same difference so it matches the higher plan. From then on Executive renews at its then-listed price. A move to a lower plan takes effect at your next renewal, when the lower plan's then-listed price is charged. The difference isn't refunded.

How do I cancel, and what happens when my membership ends?

You can cancel any time online in Console > Billing by turning off auto-renew. Your membership and its benefits then continue until the end of the period you paid for. Cancelling does not refund the current period (see the Refund Policy). If a renewal payment does not go through, we retry it for about 14 days and your membership benefits continue meanwhile. You can update your payment method in Console > Billing at any time. If the payment still fails, your membership ends and Guest pricing applies. Member prices continue while your membership renews. If you cancel, or a renewal payment still fails after the retries, Guest pricing applies after your end date.
