Pricing
One simple rule, no subscription
You top up an amount in dinar. It becomes credit in your account on our console. You pay 20% more than Alibaba's price to cover service, local payment, servers and support. That is all.
How the price is calculated
Exchange rate used1 USD = 250 DA
Our service margin+20 %

The example everyone understands

The 2 dollar difference is our fee: service, local payment costs, hosting the gateway on our own servers, and support. There is nothing else to pay — no subscription, no setup fee, no per-request fee.

With most resellers in Algeria
- A 100% markup or more on credit
- Prices shown without saying where they come from
- Unlisted models, your choice made for you
- Credit that expires or hidden caps
- Top-up by foreign card only
With IA Algérie
- A flat, declared 20% margin
- Alibaba's USD price is published on every model
- Every model visible, you choose
- Credit never expires
- Local payment in dinar, invoice with your tax ID
The Alibaba dollar prices are the public list prices for the Singapore region. They change occasionally: we pass on any decrease, and we never pass on an increase without 30 days notice.
How the bill is computed
Pay as you go, per token, with our 20% margin already included. No setup fee, no per-request fee, no minimum.
Output tokens
Everything the model writes back, including reasoning tokens for thinking models.
Media units
Image, video and speech models are billed per generated image, per second of video or per minute of audio — never per token.
What is never billed
Failed requests, rate-limit rejections and support conversations.
What does a real project cost?
Three typical Algerian scenarios, using qwen3.7-plus on the Singapore region.
| Scenario | Monthly volume | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| Small business chatbot | 5M input + 2M output tokens | ≈ 1 074 DA |
| Document processing tool | 40M input + 8M output tokens | ≈ 5 955 DA |
| Agency serving 6 clients | 150M input + 30M output tokens | ≈ 22 331 DA |
Calculated with the public qwen3.7-plus price ($0.276 / $1.101 per million tokens) at 250 DA and with our 20% margin. Your real cost depends on the model you pick and how long your prompts are.

Frequently asked questions
Is there really no subscription?
None. No monthly fee, no commitment, no setup fee. You top up credit and spend it at whatever pace you like.
Why 20% and not some other number?
Because that is what the service actually costs: local payment fees, servers and gateway hosting, monitoring, invoicing and support in Arabic and French. We would rather declare it plainly than inflate a per-model "rate".
Does unused credit expire?
No. It stays on your account until you spend it. Dormant accounts are only archived after 24 months of inactivity.
Can I get an official invoice?
Yes, with our tax ID and yours. Invoices are generated per top-up and available as PDF in your console.
What happens if my balance runs out?
Requests return a clear insufficient-balance error, and you get an alert before you get there.
Can prices go up?
Our margin is fixed at 20% and does not increase. Only Alibaba's own rate can change, and we give 30 days notice if it does.
