Who we are, what the service actually does, and the things we deliberately do not claim.
APICLAN (the site is apiclan.us) is an OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway.
One base URL — https://apiclan.us/v1 — gives access to Claude,
GPT, Gemini, Grok and image models, billed per token in US dollars, with no subscription
and no monthly minimum.
APICLAN is operated by NEXUS TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION PTE. LTD., a private limited company incorporated in Singapore on 6 July 2023 (UEN 202326452W). You can look the company up by its UEN in ACRA BizFile, Singapore's official business register.
Business address: 60 Paya Lebar Road, #06-28, Paya Lebar Square, Singapore 409051.
Our servers are in Los Angeles, and our customers are spread across many countries
and time zones.
We are a relay, not a model provider. The models belong to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI; requests are forwarded to them and the responses are theirs. What we provide is a single integration, a single balance, and a published price that is a fraction of each provider's official rate.
The name is APICLAN, spelled A-P-I-C-L-A-N, and the only domain APICLAN operates under is apiclan.us. Similar names exist in this space and are unrelated to us. Support is support@apiclan.us and we do not operate accounts under other domains. If someone contacts you claiming to be APICLAN from a different address, it is not us.
Every model sits in a group, and each group has a fixed multiplier applied to the provider's list price. Published rates currently run from 25% to 83% below list depending on the group. Nothing is negotiated and there is no volume tier — the rate on the page is the rate on the invoice.
Top-ups are USDT on TRON, at 1 USDT for 2 credits of API balance. Balance does not expire, and unused balance is refundable within 7 days of a top-up.
The price pages on this site are regenerated automatically from live billing data rather than maintained by hand, so a published figure cannot quietly drift away from what the system actually charges. Each model page shows the arithmetic and a worked example from a real session.
We publish no uptime SLA, no concurrency figures and no customer counts, because we could not back them up. We do not republish other people's benchmarks, because they would not predict how a model behaves on your task; the only test results on this site are small ones we ran ourselves and can reproduce, such as GPT-6.1 Sol against Claude Opus 5.5. Where a comparison depends on something we cannot verify, our pages say so rather than filling the gap.
There are cases where this service is the wrong choice — if you need a signed vendor agreement, card payment and invoices, provider-side data controls, or automatic failover between providers. Those cases are written out on the direct-account comparison and the OpenRouter comparison rather than left out.
Signing up with a Google account adds a small trial credit, so you can run real requests before paying anything. Setup for every supported client is in the Quickstart, deeper material is in Guides, and prices are on the price list. Support is by email at support@apiclan.us, or on Telegram and WhatsApp. A person reads every message, usually within a few hours.
No subscription, no monthly minimum, no sales call. Top up with USDT and spend what you use — 1 USDT gives you 2 credits of API balance.
