Pay for OpenAI
with crypto.
Use OpenAI through OpenLimits. Pay from your wallet, then connect your coding tools.
An OpenAI-compatible API, paid from your wallet
An application using an OpenAI-compatible API needs a base URL, an API key, and a supported model ID. OpenLimits provides those account details after purchase. Crypto checkout pays for an OpenLimits plan; it does not deposit money into an OpenAI developer account.
Review the Chat Completions or Responses documentation for the endpoint your application uses. Then choose a GPT catalog entry and connect your client to OpenLimits. Keeping the provider account and the API configuration distinct helps avoid using the wrong key or expecting the payment to appear on an OpenAI invoice.
From your wallet to your workspace
An email, a plan, and a one-time invoice. No automatic crypto renewals.

Know what you are paying for
One access period
Day: 24 hours. Week: 7 days. Max and Ultimate: 30 days with crypto. Compare current plan prices and model access before purchase. The final fiat price and crypto amount appear in checkout.
Your own OpenLimits account
Payment purchases OpenLimits access. It does not fund a provider account or activate a ChatGPT or Claude website subscription. OpenLimits is an independent service.
Before you send a payment
Can I top up my OpenAI API balance here?
No. OpenLimits crypto payments fund OpenLimits access only. Your OpenAI billing account and any existing OpenAI credits remain separate.
Which cryptocurrencies can I use?
Checkout shows the currently available assets, networks, and minimum payment amounts. Check there for Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, or another preferred asset; availability varies. Send only the currency on the network specified by your invoice, with any required memo or tag.
Is crypto a recurring subscription?
No. Crypto purchases are one-time payments for the selected access term. There is no automatic wallet debit. Day access lasts 24 hours, Week lasts 7 days, and Max and Ultimate crypto purchases last 30 days.
When does my access start?
Access activates after the full payment has been verified. The invoice displays payment status while confirmations are processed. New users receive a sign-in link at the email supplied during registration.
Do discount codes or referral rewards apply?
Crypto checkout uses the full configured plan price. Promotional discounts and referral rewards are available with eligible Stripe purchases only.
What if I send too little or use the wrong network?
Do not make another transfer blindly. Keep the invoice and transaction details and contact support. Partial payments do not activate access until settlement is verified; sending on another network may prevent the payment from being detected.
