Who is Featherless best for?

Roleplay and story chat
The Chat plan gives unlimited tokens for a flat monthly fee in front-ends such as SillyTavern, RisuAI and Wyvern.
Trying many open models
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint reaches 40,000+ open models from Hugging Face, with nothing to host or set up per model.
Coding agents and apps
The Developer plan works with Cline, Kilo Code, OpenCode, OpenHands and n8n, with up to 256K context and per-token billing.
Teams that need steady latency
Business puts models on dedicated GPUs with no shared rate limits, private fine-tunes and an SLA.
How much does Featherless cost?
Featherless has no free plan: its Chat plan costs $25 a month for unlimited tokens at 32K context, and its Developer plan starts at $50 a month in API credit that is billed per token.
- Unlimited tokens, 32K context, 4 concurrent units
- Any of the 40,000+ open models
- Only for chat you type yourself, in apps such as SillyTavern or RisuAI
- Billed per token; only successful requests are charged
- Context up to 256K, 100 concurrent units, 1 agent environment
- For coding agents, apps and production API traffic
The Developer credit can be raised in steps from $50 to $6,400 a month; unused credit never expires and you can top up mid-cycle. Each model has its own rate per million input and output tokens, for example GLM-5.3 at $1.40 input and $4.40 output. Business runs models on dedicated H100, MI325X, B200 or B300 GPUs with private fine-tunes, named engineers and an SLA, on a custom annual contract. The pricing page lists no free plan or trial; both self-serve plans renew monthly with no commitment. Full pricing on featherless.ai. We checked these prices on .
