// WHY US

The heavy infrastructure is already built — just sell

Upstream pool, billing, domain TLS, global routing, customer stats, branded homepage — the entire stack is done for you.

Custom branded domain

Your customers see api.your-brand.com — no mention of qcode anywhere. One DNS CNAME and TLS is auto-provisioned.

3 protocols, 1 key

Claude Messages / OpenAI Responses / Gemini Generative — one cr_xxx key covers all three protocols, and any tool that can configure a third-party API endpoint plugs in directly: CLIs, desktop apps, IDE plugins. Chinese models are called via Claude Messages or the OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Responses does not support them yet).

Live in 0.5–1 hour

Top up and submit your domain → we configure it manually (about 0.5–1 hour) → you immediately get your branded endpoint and first API Keys, ready to hand to customers. No KYC, no review queue.

Customer self-service stats

Customers visit your-brand.com/stats, enter their key, and see real-time spend, per-model breakdown, and 30-day trends. Fully self-service.

Multilingual SEO homepage

Language auto-locked by region (Asia=Chinese / Americas=English / Europe=English+Russian). SEO meta, canonical, OG all configured. Customize name/tagline/pricing/contact/analytics in the dashboard.

Full self-service management

In the QCode partner dashboard you can see live balance, create/toggle API keys, adjust quotas, view full ledger, and configure branding + analytics — all self-service, no need to contact support.

Both folds are measured against vendor list price: bulk procurement takes $1.00 down to $0.057, then your tier discount takes it to $0.043–$0.054. 🔴 QCode's monthly plans are a different product — prepaid against a daily cap and not resellable — while the partner program is pay-as-you-go, pooled monthly, unlimited concurrency, your own brand, and resellable. The two unit prices are not directly comparable.

// TIER & PRICING

5 tiers — wholesale discount by top-up amount

First top-up locks your tier discount, maintained across renewals. Also supports USD top-ups (no FX conversion needed for overseas partners — equivalent rate applied automatically).

Tier Min. (CNY) Min. (USD) Discount Effective rate Best for
A Premium ¥20,000 $2,857 25% off Base $0.057 × 0.75 $0.043/$1 all-in $0.046 Established partners with stable monthly volume
B Advanced ¥10,000 $1,428 20% off Base $0.057 × 0.8 $0.046/$1 all-in $0.049 Mid-size partners with channel resources
C Pro ¥7,500 $1,071 15% off Base $0.057 × 0.85 $0.049/$1 all-in $0.052 Stable small-to-mid partners / internal team use
D Standard Recommended ¥5,000 $714 10% off Base $0.057 × 0.9 $0.051/$1 all-in $0.056 First-time partners testing the market
E Starter ¥3,000 $428 5% off Base $0.057 × 0.95 $0.054/$1 all-in $0.059 Trial / single-customer / internal team use

Multiplier = discount rate: Tier A 0.75x means upstream $1 cost only deducts $0.75 from your quota. Monthly statements are auto-generated — clear and transparent.

// ONBOARDING

4 steps to launch

From top-up to launch typically takes 0.5–1 hour (manual setup). No customer data required, no legal process.

1

Calculate & top up

Use the cost calculator below to figure out the total to top up (partner principal + partnership fee), then top up your QCode balance on the billing page.

2

Submit application

Once your top-up clears, gather the few required fields from the "How to apply" section below and email business.

See email template →
3

Review & activate

After top-up we configure manually; in about 0.5–1 hour your branded endpoint and first API Keys are ready to distribute.

Go live

Your domain CNAME takes effect immediately. In the partner dashboard's branding section, configure name / tagline / contact / pricing; if homepage is enabled, changes refresh in real time with no redeploy.

// COST CALCULATOR

Cost calculator

Pick a tier, decide on the homepage — see exactly how much to top up. Top up before applying so we can activate immediately.

Min. top-up： Discount：

You can top up more than the tier minimum — the excess goes into your quota at the same discount.

Important: top-up = the tokens you'll later resell The top-up amount is NOT a fee paid to us — 100% of it becomes your partner quota and is later consumed by your customers' Claude / GPT / Gemini / GLM / Kimi / DeepSeek / Qwen API calls (token-by-token). The only fee we keep is 8% of the top-up as the partnership fee.

// Upstream quota you can actually consume
Top-up principal (your tier discount expands this into upstream quota)

Available upstream quota (USD-quota)

Higher tiers (A→E) get bigger discounts — same principal turns into more upstream USD-quota that your customers can spend on API calls.

Recommended action

· The partnership fee is 8% of every top-up — it's charged each time you top up the partner balance, not just once. It covers all our work for the partnership: branded entry, DNS, TLS, and the optional branded homepage. No extra one-time fees.
· Your partner quota is expanded by the Tier discount into upstream USD-quota, consumed by your customers' API calls. The balance number is always exactly how much your customers can still spend.
· The multilingual SEO branded homepage (Asia=Chinese / Americas=English / Europe=English+Russian) is included in the partnership — toggle it on/off anytime from the partner dashboard, no extra charge.

  • Unsure about tier? Pick one — we'll recommend based on your business volume in the reply.

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The homepage, usage query page, and API error responses your customers see contain no mention of QCode — only your brand. Setup requires only one DNS CNAME record from your domain to our entry endpoint; TLS is auto-provisioned. Your customers never see that record.
No. QCode maintains the upstream account pools for all three providers. You get a cr_xxx key that aggregates all three. Capacity, rate-limit scheduling, and upstream failover are all handled for you.
Yes. The full Claude lineup (Opus 5 / Sonnet 5 / Fable 5 / Opus 4.8 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5), the OpenAI GPT-5 family (GPT-5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna / GPT-5.5 / Codex / image-2), the full Gemini lineup (3.1 Pro / 2.5 Pro / Flash), plus Chinese vendors GLM / Kimi / DeepSeek / Qwen — all on one key. New models become available automatically when clients update.
Supported providers: Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrika, Plausible, Umami — structured integration (you provide the ID, we inject the official snippet). Arbitrary JS injection is intentionally blocked to protect your customers from script injection if your credentials are ever compromised.
Your customers self-check at your-brand.com/stats by entering their own API key — real-time spend, per-model breakdown, 30-day trends. In the QCode partner dashboard you see total balance, per-API-key spend, and full ledger. Monthly statements are auto-generated.
Upgrade: top up enough to meet the new tier minimum on renewal. Downgrade: top up less than current tier minimum. Cancel: contact support to pause; remaining balance is refunded at the original equivalent rate (full ledger record preserved).
No concurrency limit. The partner program bills purely on consumed quota — no rate limits on requests/sec, open connections, or concurrent streams. As long as your balance is positive, agent orchestration, batch workflows, and team-wide simultaneous use all run without throttling.
Yes. 100% of your recharge enters your quota; deductions follow actual token consumption (input + output + cache). No daily quotas, no monthly plan boundaries. Top up again when the balance runs low; remaining balance accumulates and never expires — same flexibility as a direct API connection.
