What Claude Code costs per client job on your own API key

konnektsi's automatic runs use your own Anthropic API key, billed by use, never your Claude Pro or Max login. Each run has a hidden spend cap, and setup has you set a monthly spend limit on the key, so costs stay predictable.

The caps per run

Quoting runs are capped at $3. The run that does the work, and each change run, is capped at about half the job's price, at least $5 and at most $100. A run that restarts after you allow a file is capped at $15, and the short run that sums up how a job went at $1.

A job can use several runs

A quote, the work, a change and a retry are separate runs, so a job's total can be more than half its price. Each run's log on your Mac ends with roughly what it spent.

Your key stays on your Mac

You paste the key once into a box the plugin opens, and it stays on your Mac. konnektsi never sees it, never pays for your usage, and stops any run that reports a different credential.

Work you do yourself

If you work on a job in your own Claude session, that session uses whatever account you're signed in with, and konnektsi doesn't cap it.

Questions

Does konnektsi resell Claude?

No. It doesn't sell, resell or mark up AI. Anthropic bills your usage to you directly. konnektsi isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
