About Standard Compute

Unlimited AI compute for the people who build automations. One API key, one flat price, zero per-token billing.

Our Mission

Standard Compute exists to make AI compute accessible and predictable for builders. We believe that the people automating workflows, connecting tools, and shipping products should never have to worry about surprise bills or opaque rate limits.

Every plan we offer is flat-rate and unlimited. Four tiers — Starter ($9/mo), Standard ($39/mo), Fast ($99/mo), and Turbo ($399/mo) — each with unlimited compute. Higher tiers get faster execution and priority scheduling. You pick a tier, plug your API key into your automation platform, and build without watching a meter.

The Problem We Solve

Most LLM APIs charge per token. That model works for experimenting, but it falls apart the moment you connect an AI step to a production automation that runs hundreds or thousands of times a day. Costs become unpredictable, budgets get blown, and teams start rationing the very capability they adopted AI to unlock.

We founded Standard Compute to fix that. A single monthly price, no per-token billing, no throttling surprises. Predictable costs mean you can finally treat AI compute the way you treat any other utility — turn it on and forget about it.

Intelligent Model Routing

Set your model to "standardcompute" and our routing algorithm does the rest. Every request is analyzed for complexity, token budget, and current provider load — then matched to the optimal model automatically. The pool includes top-tier reasoning models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, including GPT-5.1 Codex, Claude Opus 4, and Grok 4.

If a provider has issues, your requests are seamlessly rerouted. You never pick a model, manage fallbacks, or juggle API keys across providers. One key, one model name, and we handle the intelligence behind it.

Built for Automation-First Workflows

Our API is designed from the ground up for platforms like n8n, Make, Zapier, and OpenClaw. The base URL (https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1) is OpenAI-compatible, so any node or module that speaks the OpenAI format works out of the box — no custom code, no middleware. We support both /v1/completions and /v1/responses endpoints.

We optimize for the patterns that matter in automation: fast cold starts, consistent latency, high concurrency, and graceful handling of bursty traffic. Whether you are summarizing emails, triaging support tickets, or running multi-step AI agents, the API stays responsive.

Small Team, Focused Product

Standard Compute is a small, lean team. We do not maintain a large sales org or run a conference circuit. Instead, we put our energy into the product — keeping latency low, availability high, and pricing simple.

Every member of the team has shipped production software and understands the frustration of unpredictable cloud bills firsthand. That shared experience shapes every decision we make, from plan design to documentation.

Your Data, Protected

All data is processed and stored exclusively in US and European infrastructure. We do not train models on your prompts or outputs — and neither do our upstream providers under their current API terms. Your data never leaves the US and EU.

API keys are encrypted server-side, database access is locked down with row-level security, and all traffic is encrypted via HTTPS. We are fully GDPR-compliant as a data controller. Details on our Privacy Policy and Data & Privacy pages.
