Can I pay for an AI API with Mobile Money?

Yes. CircuitNotion credits are topped up in RWF with MTN or Airtel Mobile Money, or a card, so you do not need an international card or a foreign billing address to use the API.

Is CircuitNotion a subscription?

No. There is no monthly plan and no seat pricing. You fund a credit wallet and each API call draws down the balance at the model's published rate, plus a flat 15% platform and routing fee.

Do CircuitNotion credits expire?

No. Credits stay in your wallet until you spend them, so a month with little or no usage does not cost you anything. When the balance reaches zero the API returns HTTP 402 until you top up.

Which models can one CircuitNotion key reach?

One OpenAI-compatible key and one balance route to CircuitNotion's own Incuti AI models plus OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and Moonshot. The live catalog is available from GET /v1/models.

What AI works in Kinyarwanda?

Incuti AI by CircuitNotion is capable in Kinyarwanda, English and French, and is reached through the same API as every other model in the catalog.

Is CircuitNotion related to the Notion app or OpenAI docs?

No. CircuitNotion is an independent company. The name is unrelated to Notion's API; we provide AI models and an OpenAI-compatible developer API under the CircuitNotion brand.

Why credits, not a plan

A subscription resets. A wallet doesn’t.

On a monthly plan, the month you build slowly is the month you pay for nothing. A CircuitNotion balance is money you already own: it sits in the wallet until a request spends it, so a quiet month costs you nothing at all.

Illustrative figures against the same three months of use. After them the plan has taken 90,000 RWF and left nothing behind; the wallet has taken 30,000 RWF and still holds 68% of it.

What a call costs

The model’s published rate, plus a flat 15%.

The 15% covers the platform and the routing. Nothing else is added: no seat price, no monthly minimum, no floor. The balance is drawn down per request as it happens.

Example top-up amounts, how each is paid, and what lands in the wallet
Top up	Paid with	Lands as	Expires
5,000 RWF	MTN Mobile Money	5,000 RWF balance	Never
20,000 RWF	Airtel Money	20,000 RWF balance	Never
50,000 RWF	Card, via DPO	50,000 RWF balance	Never

Amounts are examples. Current per-model rates are published on the Developer Platform and in the live catalog, because they move when providers move theirs.

When the balance reaches zero, the API returns HTTP 402.

Nothing is throttled quietly and no card is charged in the background. The call fails with a status your code can catch, and it succeeds again the moment you top up.

Catalog

One key, every model.

Router aliases are stable names. What sits behind one can change as providers change theirs; your code keeps calling the same string.

Astra for desktop

Not everyone who needs this writes code.

Astra is our second product: a desktop app for people who have the work but not the programming. You describe the outcome in one sentence, it opens the folder on your computer, does the job in front of you, and hands you the finished file.

One prompt, a real file
Spreadsheets, slide decks, PDFs and documents, written to disk rather than described back to you in a chat window.
It writes the code, you don’t
When a job needs a script, Astra writes and runs one. You can open it afterwards or never look at it. The file you asked for is the point.
The same wallet
Free to install. The work is paid from the CircuitNotion credits you topped up with Mobile Money, and the running cost is visible as it goes.
