Buy DeepSeek API Credits with Crypto

DeepSeek's web assistant and mobile app are positioned as free products, with the app explicitly stating there are no in-app purchases. The real paid checkout is the Open Platform top-up flow used to fund API access for models such as `deepseek-chat` and `deepseek-reasoner`.

DeepSeek does not document tiered API subscriptions. Instead, you recharge account balance and usage charges are deducted as requests consume tokens, with granted balance applied before topped-up balance according to the official billing FAQ.

DeepSeek says recharge amounts do not expire, which is useful if you only run workloads occasionally. SolCard works well when you want to top up for a launch, test cycle, or short evaluation window without committing to a monthly plan.

DeepSeek's FAQ says unused balance can be refunded from the Open Platform billing area. That is a meaningful billing detail when you are estimating token demand for a new integration and do not want excess prepaid funds trapped on the account.

DeepSeek's Open Platform terms say the same account is used for both chat and platform access, and deleting it forfeits any remaining Open Platform balance. Funding the account deliberately matters because closure affects both product access and leftover prepaid funds.

DeepSeek's official top-up methods are PayPal, bank card, Alipay, and WeChat Pay, with no documented native crypto payment option. SolCard is useful because it gives you a crypto-funded way to complete the normal DeepSeek balance recharge flow.
