# Your own API key

Already paying a provider? Add your key to use that provider account instead of your ZeroLog credit.

## Where the charge lands

- **With your key** Your account at the provider
- **Without one** Your ZeroLog credit

## Your key stays private

Your account

Add the key in Settings → Provider keys.

After saving

The full key is hidden.

Only the last four characters stay visible.

## What you still see

Adding a key changes where the charge lands, not what you can read off the screen. Cost is still shown per answer.

Without your own key, models are paid from ZeroLog credit. Packs and plan prices: [Pricing](https://zerolog.ch/pricing).
