If I bring my own key, what am I paying the platform for?

I can see a case for paying for the workflow, storage or export. I just don’t want the pricing page to imply the platform is covering model calls that are billed to my key.

Separate provider charges from platform value. Show which features the fee covers and who bills the generation. BYOK isn’t automatically free, but the split should be obvious.

That’s the explanation I’d want as a customer too. One line saying “credits” is hiding several different costs.

And don’t promise exact provider cost unless you can actually measure it. Estimates and invoices are different things.
