Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I actually save?
Most users save 60-80% compared to subscription services. With direct API pricing, you typically pay $5-15/month for heavy usage instead of $20+ for subscriptions.
Is my API key secure?
Absolutely! You set a master key that encrypts your API keys locally. Only the encrypted version is stored in our database. While we temporarily access your master key when you send prompts to decrypt your API keys, we never store your master key.
What happens after the one-time payment?
You get lifetime access to BYOAPI Chat with all current and future features. You only pay your chosen AI provider for actual API usage.
Can I use multiple API keys?
Absolutely! You can connect OpenAI, Claude, and Perplexity keys simultaneously and switch between them as needed.
