# Pay as You Go

> MiniMax Pay as You Go Pricing

Pay-as-you-go uses standard Open Platform API Keys and consumes your account balance by actual usage. Credits are a separate prepaid balance used through a Subscription Key with the same resource coverage as Token Plan. For Credits pricing and usage behavior, see [Token Plan pricing](/guides/pricing-token-plan).
