Lumen Credits
Put your AI app in front of users — today.
Lumen Credits lets you launch a user-facing AI app right now, without the hassle of building an AI token-counting and credit-selling backend. Storefront, sign-in, per-token metering and PayPal billing are already built — your customers pay you directly, and we never touch their money.
Imagine developing only the AI part of your app — and being happy. Add an AI chat add-on that controls your existing app, so users just type "change this" or "change that". Or build a complete AI product, like an image generator driven by the user's mood, and launch it right away.

Payments go straight to you
Customers pay via your own PayPal merchant account. Lumen Credits is never in the money flow.
Metering you don't build
Per-token usage tracking across Gemini, OpenAI, Claude and Soniox — priced in credits you control.
A storefront in minutes
Your own site at yourapp.lumencredits.com — sign-in, pricing, top-ups and accounts included.
How it works
- Bring your keys. Connect your AI provider API keys and your PayPal merchant account.
- Set your prices. Define credit packs and what each model costs in credits — your margin, your rules.
- Share your storefront. Customers sign in with Google, buy credits with PayPal, and use your app.
- Pay only for infrastructure. A small metered platform fee for hosting and token counting — that's all.
Questions developers ask
Who holds my customers' money?
You do. Payments go from your customer's PayPal to your PayPal. Lumen Credits never has custody.
What does Lumen Credits cost?
A metered per-usage platform fee billed to you, the developer. No revenue share on your customer payments.
Can customers use my own app with their credits?
Yes — your app calls the metered API with per-customer keys, and usage is deducted from their credit balance automatically.
