Pay Chutes AI with Crypto

Chutes keeps entry pricing low with Base at $3 per month, Plus at $10, and Pro at $20. SolCard is a practical way to fund the specific plan you want with crypto instead of converting funds separately before you subscribe.

Chutes no longer treats subscriptions as unlimited request buckets. It says each plan includes up to 5x the equivalent pay-as-you-go value, and once that threshold is reached, usage transitions to standard PAYG pricing, sometimes with shorter rolling safeguards along the way.

Chutes is unusual because it already shows native TAO pricing on at least some model pages and publishes TAO payment activity on its research dashboard, while its subscription plans are still presented in USD. SolCard is most relevant for the USD subscription side rather than replacing Chutes' own TAO flow.

Chutes' pricing page says Base does not include frontier models, while Plus and Pro do. Chutes also announced that models such as GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, Qwen 3.5, and MiniMax M2.5 were removed from Base, so paying for a higher tier only makes sense when your workload actually needs those models.

Chutes is not selling one narrow assistant subscription. The platform covers LLM, image, speech, video, embeddings, moderation, 3D, and bring-your-own-model workloads, so your billing behavior depends on which models and endpoints you run, not just how often you open a chat window.

For larger teams, Chutes moves beyond normal checkout into contact-sales enterprise billing with volume discounts, custom rate limits, dedicated support, and SLA guarantees. SolCard is best suited to the self-serve website plans, while enterprise buyers should expect a separate procurement flow.
