About CheapAPIKeys

An independent reality-check site for the discount AI API market.

The "cheap API key" market grew from nothing to dozens of storefronts in under a year. Most are anonymous, most are weeks or months old, and their terms are rarely read before money changes hands. This site does three narrow things well:

• Documents who is behind each reseller — from their own pages and public records, verbatim and dated.
• Compares refund terms — the single most consequential text nobody reads.
• Lets you verify a key yourself — in your browser; your key never touches our servers.

We don't sell keys. We don't take referral fees from listed providers. We don't publish accusations we can't reproduce. See methodology for the full rules we hold ourselves to.

Corrections: if you operate a listed service and believe any quoted text is outdated, contact us with a link to the current page — we re-capture and update with a new date. (Contact form coming soon; until then the site is updated on a fixed review cycle.)
