Free Tier and BYOK
great clarifying question. GPTWeb operates on a BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) model across all tiers, including Free. That means the platform itself does not include managed LLM access bundled into the subscription. You connect your own API keys for the AI provider (Anthropic for Claude, OpenAI for embeddings, optionally Google for Gemini) and pay those providers directly with zero markup from GPTWeb.
What's Included vs. BYOK
| Component | Included in GPTWeb Subscription | BYOK Required |
|---|---|---|
| Platform access and admin | Yes | No |
| Included tokens (platform-tracked usage) | Yes | No |
| Anthropic Claude conversations | No | Yes |
| OpenAI embeddings for semantic search | No | Yes |
| Google Gemini (optional) | No | Yes |
| Email delivery (SendGrid, Mailgun, SES) | No | Yes |
| Enrichment (PDL, Clearbit, ZoomInfo) | No | Optional BYOK |
The upside of this model is full cost transparency: you see exactly what AI usage costs on your provider's dashboard, you can switch models or providers anytime, and there is no vendor lock-in. Signup is free with no credit card needed, and the setup wizard walks you through connecting your keys. For specifics on Free tier token allotments and limits, the Billing admin tab in the product has the current details, or reach out to sales@gptweb.com. GPTWeb is the future of engagement, websites, and marketing automation combined, built for the AI era, built for now.
