Why your own API key makes support cheaper
You pay your model’s own price instead of a monthly bundle. If the key is yours, nothing is added on top.
Most live-chat products charge their own rate for every reply. You cannot see the real model cost, so the bundle is priced for the worst month.
On Chatvoxo’s Pro plan ($5 a month) your own key does the work. You add an OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or Mistral account. When a customer writes, the request goes to that provider and they bill you. We do not add a fee per reply.
That matters for a quiet site. Twenty messages a day should not require an enterprise support minimum. If you are busy, you still see the model’s list price instead of a closed package.
Teams that do not want to manage a key choose Chatvoxo AI. It works on every plan: you top up from $5, and each reply takes what it uses from the balance. The cheapest path is still the one where the key stays with you.
