Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every new account receives $5 in free credits automatically — no credit card required. You can explore the marketplace and use AI apps right away with those credits.

AIPool is a unified AI marketplace. Instead of subscribing to each AI tool separately, you load a single prepaid wallet and access any app on the platform. One account, one billing dashboard, pay only for what you use.

Create a free account at aipool.in/auth/register. You'll receive $5 in credits instantly. Then browse the marketplace, pick an app, and authorize it with one click — no new passwords.

No. You can sign up and use your $5 in free credits with no payment method on file. You only need to add a card when you want to top up your wallet beyond the free credits.

Your wallet holds a prepaid balance in USD. When you use any connected AI app, the cost of each request is deducted from your balance. You can see every charge in your transaction history — down to the individual token.

Go to Dashboard → Wallet → Top up. You can add $5, $10, $25, or $50 at a time using any major credit or debit card via Stripe. There are no subscription fees — you pay exactly what you load.

You are charged only for actual AI requests, typically measured in tokens (roughly 4 characters of text). There are no monthly seat fees, no minimum spend, and no charges when you're not using the platform.

You can set a low balance alert threshold in your settings. When your balance drops below that threshold, AIPool will notify you so you can top up before apps stop working.

Unused wallet credits can be refunded. Contact support and we'll process a refund for your remaining balance minus the $5 signup bonus.

Browse the marketplace, click on an app, and click "Connect". You'll be taken through a quick OAuth flow — one click to authorize. The app can then make AI requests billed to your wallet.

Yes. Go to Dashboard → Apps and revoke access to any connected app. The app will immediately lose the ability to make requests on your behalf.

The marketplace includes apps across coding (code review, completion, debugging), creative (writing, copywriting, image generation), research (summarization, Q&A), productivity (workflow automation), and general AI assistants.

There is no limit on the number of apps you can connect. Your wallet balance is shared across all of them.

AIPool uses industry-standard security: HTTPS everywhere, bcrypt-hashed passwords, HTTP-only session cookies, and OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for app authorization. Your AI API keys are never exposed to third-party apps.

Apps can only access what you explicitly authorize via OAuth scopes — typically the ability to make AI model requests on your behalf. Apps never see your password, payment details, or full wallet balance.

AIPool logs token counts and costs per request for billing purposes but does not store the content of your AI conversations.

Register as a developer at aipool.in/auth/register?role=developer, then go to Developer → New App. Fill in your app details, redirect URIs, and pricing configuration. Once approved, your app will appear in the marketplace.

You set a markup multiplier on top of the base model cost. AIPool handles all billing infrastructure — you receive the markup portion of every request your users make.

AIPool implements OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow with PKCE (S256). After the user authorizes your app, you exchange the code for an access token and use it to make requests to the AIPool proxy endpoint.

Yes. See the developer documentation at aipool.in for integration guides, SDK examples, and the full API reference.
