If users bring their own AI key, what are they paying TokPortal for?

Name the value separately from inference: layout, project persistence, asset handling, quality checks, collaboration or delivery into the publishing workflow. Then decide how that value is priced and whether BYOK changes the platform charge. Do not leave users to discover the relationship through a credit deduction.

Compare the complete experience with the alternative of using the provider directly. A platform fee can make sense when it pays for a useful workflow, but the product should be clear about which costs the user still pays elsewhere.
