## Charm Hyper

- `coding-subs/charm-hyper` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category coding subscription
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-02T15:23:26.114Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-03
- url https://hyper.charm.land/
- free tier: no free plan: 'We've retired the monthly free Hypercredit allowance.' Entry is Shred Diet at USD 10 a month for 180 Hypercredits a week (about USD 9.00 of inference), or prepaid Hypercredits from USD 5. Personal ladder: Shred Diet USD 10 (180 a week), Shred Classic USD 20 (250), Shred Energy USD 50 (400), Shred Nitro USD 100 (690), Shred Animal USD 200 (1,200) | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: allowances are in Hypercredits, each worth USD 0.05 of inference at the models' listed per-token prices, so they are spent per token and not per request; Business plans for teams cost USD 30 to USD 220 per user a month for the same allowances as the five Shred tiers
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: Shred (Personal) plans are not zero-data-retention: prompts and responses are retained and used to train the vendor's models, and are not deleted on account closure. Prepaid Hypercredits and Business plans are zero-data-retention: content is not stored by default and is held up to 30 days if temporarily retained; request metadata (timestamps, model identifiers, token counts, billing records) is kept | source: [2]
- egress: not applicable | metered: no
- identity: card | detail: sign-up is 'Sign up with Google, GitHub, or email' (the app offers Google and GitHub buttons and an email and password form, loads a Cloudflare Turnstile check, and sends an email verification link); the account holder must be 18 or older. The free allowance is retired, so use needs a Shred plan or prepaid Hypercredits from USD 5, paid through Stripe, which collects payment card details and a billing address. The app also has a waitlist screen ('Your account is pending approval'); whether new accounts are waitlisted now, and which payment methods checkout accepts: unverified: behind a sign-up
- interface: rest, cli
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): Shred Diet 180 Hypercredits a week (about USD 9.00 of inference), refreshed Sunday 00:00 UTC with no roll-over; Classic 250, Energy 400, Nitro 690, Animal 1,200 [1]
  - volume-quota (binding): rolling five-hour window: 100 Hypercredits on Shred Diet, 150, 250, 400 and 700 on the higher Shred tiers [1]
  - request-rate: concurrent requests: 2 on Shred Diet, 3, 4, 8 and 12 on the higher Shred tiers; prepaid Hypercredits carry no concurrency limit [1]
  - request-rate: HTTP 429 rate_limit_error when a rate limit is exceeded and HTTP 402 billing_error when Hypercredits run out; the per-model request rate is not published [3]
- binding note: for sustained use the weekly Hypercredit allowance runs out first; the five-hour window and the 2-request concurrency of Shred Diet bind bursts
- interface detail: an HTTP API at https://hyper.charm.land/v1 with the OpenAI chat-completions (/v1/chat/completions), OpenAI responses (/v1/responses) and Anthropic messages (/v1/messages) protocols; Bearer key beginning sk-hyper-, with x-api-key also accepted on /v1/messages; GET /v1/models needs no key and GET /v1/credits returns the Hypercredit balance
- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: any OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible client; the vendor documents Crush (first-class, device-code sign-in or HYPER_API_KEY), Claude Code (ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL), Codex (responses wire API in config.toml), OpenCode (Connect Provider), Pi (npm:@charmland/pi-hyper-provider), Zed and the Go library Fantasy
- composes with: one key serves every OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible agent; subscription Hypercredits are spent first and prepaid Hypercredits, which are zero-data-retention and carry no concurrency limit, take over, so a Shred plan plus a prepaid top-up covers bursts past the weekly allowance
- reliability: the plan structure has been replaced: subscribers on the original Shred plan move to Pay As You Go at the end of the billing cycle and the monthly free allowance is retired; a rate limit answers 429 and an empty balance 402; the sign-up app can hold a new account on a waitlist
- notes: Hosted service from Charm, the maker of Crush. Hyper serves open-weight models itself (23 model ids on the public list, with context windows up to 1,048,576 tokens and USD prices per million tokens, for example deepseek-v4.1-flash at 0.33 input, 1.31 output and 0.03 cached input, kimi-k3 at 3.2664 input and 16.332 output), plus the routing model Prism. Entry plan Shred Diet is USD 10 a month, under USD 20. Pay As You Go has no subscription and no rate limits; Enterprise (dedicated instances, SAML SSO, bring-your-own keys) is contact-sales. Outside the United States a Shred plan is sold only after a separate training-consent checkbox at checkout; prepaid Hypercredits and Business plans need none.
- evidence note: plans, allowances, retention, protocols and sign-up options are quoted from first-party pages and the live sign-in app, and the model list is a probe of the public endpoint, all read on 2026-11-02. The checkout payment methods, waitlisting of new accounts and the per-model request rate are unverified: behind a sign-up.
