The same month, two bills
Run $105 of metered usage — the same requests, the same models, the same published per-token rates. Here is what each side charges you for it.
Paying the meter direct
$105
list price, billed as you go
Paying with ScaleMax credit
$10
Growth pack, bought up front
You keep $95 of it.
The real models, at their real rates
USD per 1M tokens
Not a cheaper lookalike and not a quantised copy. These are the published per-token rates your credit pays, on one key, switchable by changing one string.
Credit pays these rates at 10–11×, so $10.00 of meter costs about $0.909 in cash. The OpenAI-compatible base URL is https://api.scalemax.pro/v1.
No plan. Buy credit when you want it.
Bigger packs post more credit per dollar. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum — buy any pack again whenever the balance runs low, and a purchased key stays valid for 365 days.

Spend $2 of ours first
A trial key carries $2 of credit and needs no card. Run the installer, point Claude Code at it, do a real day of work, and read your own usage before you decide.
