# Cheap Providers - Ultra-Cheap Backup
When subscription quota runs out, pay pennies instead of dollars. ~90% cheaper than ChatGPT API!
---
## Overview
Cheap tier providers are your **backup** when subscription quota exhausted:
- 💰 **GLM-4.7** - $0.6/$2.2 per 1M tokens (daily reset)
- 💰 **MiniMax M2.1** - $0.2/$1.0 per 1M tokens (5h reset)
- 💰 **Kimi K2** - $9/month flat (10M tokens)
**Strategy:** Use after subscription quota out, before free tier. Massive cost savings vs ChatGPT API ($20/1M).

## Usage Example
### Cursor IDE Setup
```
Settings → Models → Advanced:
OpenAI API Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
OpenAI API Key: [from 9router dashboard]
Model: glm/glm-4.7
```
### Create Combo (Recommended)
```
Dashboard → Combos → Create New
Name: cheap-backup
Models:
1. cc/claude-opus-4-5 (Subscription primary)
2. glm/glm-4.7 (Cheap backup, daily reset)
3. minimax/MiniMax-M2.1 (Cheapest fallback)
4. if/kimi-k2-thinking (FREE emergency)
Use in CLI: cheap-backup
```
**Result:** Subscription → Cheap → Cheapest → Free
---
## Cost Optimization
### Strategy 1: Daily Reset Routine
```
Morning (10AM): Fresh GLM quota
→ Use GLM for heavy tasks
→ Save subscription quota
Afternoon: Subscription quota
→ Use Claude/Codex for complex tasks
Evening: MiniMax (5h reset)
→ Cheap fallback for late work
Night: Free tier (iFlow)
→ Zero cost emergency backup
```
### Strategy 2: Budget-First
```
Set monthly budget: $20
Allocation:
- $9 Kimi K2 (10M tokens flat)
- $6 GLM daily quota (10M tokens)
- $5 MiniMax overflow (25M tokens)
Total: 45M tokens for $20
vs 1M tokens for $20 on ChatGPT API!
```
### Strategy 3: Maximize Subscriptions First
```
Priority:
1. Gemini CLI (180K/month FREE)
2. Claude Code (subscription you already pay)
3. GLM-4.7 (cheap backup, $0.6/1M)
4. MiniMax M2.1 (cheapest, $0.2/1M)
5. iFlow (FREE emergency)
Monthly cost example (100M tokens):
- 60M via Gemini CLI: $0 (free)
- 30M via Claude Code: $0 (subscription)
- 8M via GLM: $4.80
- 2M via MiniMax: $0.40
Total: $5.20/month!
```
---
## Real-World Examples
### Example 1: Heavy Coding Month (100M tokens)
```
Breakdown:
- 60M via subscription (Claude/Codex): $0 extra
- 30M via GLM-4.7: $18
- 10M via MiniMax M2.1: $2
Total: $20/month
vs $2000 on ChatGPT API!
Savings: 99% cheaper!
```
### Example 2: Budget Coder ($10/month)
```
Strategy:
- $9 Kimi K2 (10M tokens)
- $1 MiniMax overflow (5M tokens)
Total: 15M tokens for $10
vs 0.5M tokens for $10 on ChatGPT API!
30× more tokens!
```
### Example 3: Freelancer (Variable Usage)
```
Light month (20M tokens):
- 15M via subscription: $0
- 5M via GLM: $3
Total: $3
Heavy month (150M tokens):
- 60M via subscription: $0
- 60M via GLM: $36
- 30M via MiniMax: $6
Total: $42
Average: $22.50/month
vs $3400 on ChatGPT API!
```
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Track Daily Quota
```
Dashboard shows:
- GLM quota: 75% used (reset in 6h)
- MiniMax quota: 50% used (reset in 2h)
- Kimi quota: 8M/10M used (reset in 15 days)
Plan heavy tasks around reset times!
```
### 2. Use Coding Plan (GLM)
```
Standard: 1× quota
Coding Plan: 3× quota (same price!)
→ Always choose Coding Plan
```
### 3. Combine with Free Tier
```
Combo:
1. gc/gemini-3-flash (FREE primary)
2. glm/glm-4.7 (cheap backup)
3. minimax/MiniMax-M2.1 (cheapest)
4. if/kimi-k2-thinking (FREE emergency)
Result: Minimize costs, maximize uptime
```
### 4. Set Budget Alerts
```
Dashboard → Settings → Budget Alerts
Daily: $2 limit
Weekly: $10 limit
Monthly: $30 limit
→ Auto switch to free tier when limit reached
```

## Troubleshooting
### "Quota exhausted"
**Solution:**
- GLM: Wait until 10:00 AM Beijing time
- MiniMax: Wait 5 hours from first use
- Kimi: Wait until 1st of next month
- Use combo fallback to free tier
### "API key invalid"
**Solution:**
- Check API key copied correctly
- Verify account has credits
- Regenerate API key if needed
### "High costs"
**Solution:**
- Check usage stats in Dashboard
- Set budget alerts
- Switch to MiniMax ($0.2/1M cheapest)
- Use free tier for non-critical tasks
