What is Pay-as-you-go vs Host-your-account?
Pay-as-you-go: or sometimes referred to as "PPU" or "Pay-per-use", is a service option where you don’t have to have your own Midjourney/ChatGPT/Kling/Luma/Suno/etc accounts depending on the API you want to use, and you will be using the account pool operated by us and it will consume your credits (which you can get more by topping up). Thus, all the jobs submitted will be processed by our accounts.
The Pay-as-you-go service option will consume your PiAPI credits, which you can top-up on the Workspace.
Host-your-account: sometimes referred to as "BYOA" or "Bring-your-own-account", is a service option where you do need to have and operate your own Midjourney/ChatGPT/Kling/Luma/Suno/etc accounts, and then subscribe to a seat or multiple seats on our platform for that particular API, connect your account to that seat, and then start using the API. Thus, all the jobs submitted will be processed by your own accounts.
The Host-your-account service option will require you to subscribe to Host-your-account seats for that particular API you want to use. You will not need to top-up PiAPI credits for Host-your-account service option.
Reliability: For APIs where both service options are available, the most reliable way is to for you to use both Pay-per-use and Host-your-account service options to reduce the possibility of downtime associated with account operation related issues. For example, you could primarily use Pay-as-you-go and have your own Host-your-account as backup; or in the case of Midjourney API, you could use your Host-your-accounts and failover to our Pay-as-you-go (there is a toggle for this failover logic on the Workspace.).
