Batch, wallet payments and Sign in with Bestex

Batch: the exact model at half price. Send work that can wait and it runs on the model you name, from the same lab, at 50% of list. Answers arrive within 24 hours, usually in minutes. Try it on Batch.

Pay with your wallet. Credits are bought with USDG straight from your wallet, with no purchase fee. The gateway reads the payment from the chain itself before any balance changes.

Real streaming. Requests for the exact model stream straight from the provider.

Sign in with Bestex. Apps can let people connect their Bestex account with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE, run requests on the user's balance, and add an app fee. Register one under Developers.

Catalogue syncs every 6 hours

The model list and provider prices are pulled from OpenRouter every 6 hours. A new model from any lab is available in Exact as soon as it is listed.

Exact only compares standard endpoints. Flex, batch and priority service tiers are ignored, because they change latency and limits and so are not the same execution.

See the live list on Models.

Introducing Grade

Grade is the Bestex endpoint. Keep your code and your model names, add one word, and that request is billed at half of list.

  • bestex/grade/anthropic/claude-fable-5.1 instead of anthropic/claude-fable-5.1
  • Grade fills the request with a model matched to the one you name
  • You never pay more than list, and a failed request is not charged

Need the exact model? Use Batch for half price with answers later, or call the model without Grade at list price.
