Relay

FAQ

Frequently asked

Where does the discount come from?+

Each Relay model has its own price, and that price is what each request is debited. 93 of 100 priced models cost less than the SearchAtlas AI Gateway’s own list price, by up to 60%; the model table shows both prices for every model. We are not a marketplace of other people’s cloud credentials — requests use the SearchAtlas AI Gateway’s own routed capacity.

Is my data used for anything?+

No. We do not store prompt or response bodies. What we retain is request metadata only — model, token counts, latency, and the amount charged — for billing and abuse prevention. See the Privacy Policy for the full data schedule.

What happens if my balance hits $0?+

New requests are rejected with a 402 before they reach any model provider — you are never charged for a request that could not be served. Top up any time in the console and the next request goes through immediately.

What is the first-deposit bonus, exactly?+

At launch, the first deposit of $5 or more on a new account is planned to receive a flat $10 bonus — fund $5, get $15 to spend. It will apply once per account, on the first paid deposit only; every deposit after that will be credited at face value. Paid launch is pending and card payments are not live yet, so the bonus is not available yet.

How many requests can I run at once?+

Every account starts at 8 concurrent requests shared across all its API keys. If you’re running a fleet of agents or a production workload that needs more, contact us — raising the account cap is a quick change on our side.

Do you publish an uptime SLA?+

Not today. We run on the same gateway infrastructure that serves SearchAtlas production traffic, but we don’t make a contractual uptime promise in v1. If a request fails before reaching a provider, you are not charged.

Can I use Relay with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex?+

Yes — set the base URL and API key as environment variables and the agent routes through Relay with no other config changes. Exact snippets are on the Docs page.

Do unused credits expire?+

No. Your balance carries forward indefinitely as long as the account stays active — there’s no monthly reset and no use-it-or-lose-it clock.

Lower inference costs are coming soon

Paid launch is pending. At launch, a $5 minimum first deposit qualifies for a flat $10 bonus.
