How discount AI tokens work
AI providers sell model usage by the token. Resellers like Token Supply buy usage at volume and pass part of the savings to you — advertised at up to 70% off list price, depending on the model and how much you buy.
Step 1 — Create your account
Head to Token Supply, create an account, and choose the model or bundle you want. Pricing is shown per million tokens so you can compare directly to the provider's public rate card.
Step 2 — Get your key and base URL
You'll receive an API key and an endpoint. Because it follows the common OpenAI-style request format, nearly every developer tool and framework can use it with a one-line config change.
Step 3 — Point your tools at it
- Claude Code: set the base URL and key environment variables for your shell — see our Claude Code guide.
- Codex / OpenAI SDK: set
OPENAI_BASE_URLandOPENAI_API_KEY. - Cursor, Continue, Cline: paste the endpoint in the custom-provider settings.
- n8n, Make, LangChain: use the OpenAI-compatible node with a custom base URL.
Tip: start with one project or workflow, compare a week of invoices side by side, then migrate the rest.
What to check before you buy
- Which exact model versions are offered
- Rate limits and context-window caps
- Refund / unused-balance policy
- Data-handling and logging terms — don't send regulated data through any third party you haven't vetted
