OpenAI Data Sharing and Complimentary Tokens Program

$50 – $2K in credits

Trade your API data for up to $660K/year in OpenAI credits—no equity, no commitment.

OpenAI will pay you in tokens if you let them see your prompts, completions, and usage patterns. You get daily credits applied to GPT-4 and o-series models (up to 11M tokens/day if you're heavy enough), and you can toggle data sharing on or off per project whenever you want. The catch: they're selective about who qualifies, and the token allotment scales with your actual usage—a small startup won't hit the ceiling. You keep full control over what gets shared, and there's no equity grab or long-term lock-in.
