Prepaid Credits and Monthly Credit Lines
Most users use prepaid credits. Sign in with Google or GitHub, top up your account, and usage is deducted from your balance.
AWS login and monthly credit lines follow a reviewed flow. Users apply for AWS login first. If an AWS login user also needs a monthly credit line, WaveSpeedAI reviews the credit request separately. Approval is not automatic.
Credit Line Review
| Applicant type | Materials to provide | Initial credit line |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise user | Company information such as legal company name, registration country or region, website, product, business use case, and a confirmation reply from a company domain email. | Generally up to $200/month after approval |
| Individual user with a product | Product information, website, app download link, or other verifiable project materials. | Generally up to $200/month after approval |
| Individual user without a product or project | Use the standard website registration flow with Google/GitHub and top up credits before use. | Not available |
Business Verification
For enterprise credit line reviews, WaveSpeedAI may request additional business verification before continuing the review. Enterprise applicants should contact WaveSpeedAI from an email address associated with the company domain, not from a personal email address.
The verification materials may include:
- Legal company name
- Company registration country or region
- Company website or product website using a business-owned domain
- Company domain email address
- Existing AWS account information, including account age, account standing, AWS usage history, and recent AWS billing records when applicable
- Main business activity
- Product or platform overview
- Planned use of WaveSpeedAI services
- Expected usage volume or estimated monthly spend
- A reachable business contact, such as email, Slack, Discord, or another mainstream communication channel
WaveSpeedAI uses this information to verify the applicant identity, understand the business use case, and evaluate whether the requested credit line is reasonable. Applicants should use an existing AWS account with normal usage history when applying through AWS login. WaveSpeedAI may review AWS account history, usage history, and account standing to help confirm that the account was not created only for temporary credit access.
The website or product page should represent the applicant’s own business or product. A temporary landing page, a subpage hosted under a generic deployment platform, or a tool-directory profile is usually not enough by itself for business verification. For example, applicants should provide a company or product domain rather than only a vercel.app project URL or a profile page on a third-party tool website.
Prepaid Access Remains Available
A declined or deferred credit line review does not prevent the applicant from using WaveSpeedAI. Users can continue with the standard Google/GitHub login flow and prepaid top-ups. If the account later builds a stable usage and payment history with WaveSpeedAI, WaveSpeedAI may review the account again for monthly credit access.
Credit Line Increases
Approved credit accounts may be reviewed for a higher monthly credit line after a healthy usage and repayment history. For example, an account that starts at $200/month may be reviewed for $500/month in a later billing cycle, and may continue to increase over time.
Requested limits should match repayment capacity. WaveSpeedAI may use recent monthly transaction volume, payment history, and account usage as review factors when deciding whether a higher credit line is reasonable.
Monthly credit lines are reviewed by billing cycle. To receive or continue a credit line for the next month, the account must complete payment for the previous month’s bill. WaveSpeedAI may pause, reduce, or decline the next month’s credit line if the previous bill is unpaid or payment cannot be confirmed.
For special requests such as $5,000/month or more, WaveSpeedAI may require the applicant to first deposit or top up the corresponding amount as a guarantee before granting that level of credit.
