Course: Building with AI APIs | Pathway: Builder | Level: Advanced
Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes
Here's something that catches every new API developer off guard: AI APIs cost money per request. Not a flat monthly fee — actual per-use billing based on how much text you send and receive. If you build something popular and don't manage costs, you can wake up to a surprisingly large bill.
This lesson is about understanding exactly how costs work and staying in control of them.
