BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
Plus plan runs with your own API key: what you pay Edgaze and what you pay your provider.
Overview#
BYOK (Plus) runs charge the creator's margin plus a $0.002 orchestration fee per run. Provider token cost is billed to your API key, not to Edgaze compute.
The displayed price on the product page reflects margin plus orchestration only. It is lower than a fully hosted run on the same margin.
How it works#
Plus subscribers configure provider keys in API Vault. Workflows marked BYOK route LLM calls through your key instead of Edgaze pooled compute.
When you trigger a BYOK run, Edgaze charges margin plus the $0.002 orchestration fee. Token usage appears on your provider account. Edgaze does not pre-fund provider usage from your wallet beyond the orchestration fee.
On success, you pay (or consume a bundle run for) margin plus orchestration. The creator earns 80% of their margin.
If a run fails#
Failure releases the margin charge. You are not charged the creator's margin. Orchestration handling on failure follows the standard failure policy. The run surface shows BYOK pricing context alongside the error.
Special cases#
- Mixed graph: Nodes without BYOK still use hosted compute estimates in the composed price.
- Insufficient provider quota: The run may fail. Treated as a failure for margin billing.
- Bundle funding: BYOK runs can consume bundle runs if the version matches. Orchestration still applies to the displayed price.
