DeepSeek API questions
Pricing, API key, payment: the short answers.
As of November 3, 2026, the DeepSeek API costs from 110 F CFA (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) to 870 F CFA (DeepSeek V4 Pro) per 1M input tokens on Tchavi. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: 110 F CFA input and 439 F CFA output per 1M tokens. You pay per use in credits, from a 1,000 F CFA top-up. The table above lists all 3 models with their price.
It depends on the model. Without a discount, you pay a Tchavi margin above DeepSeek's list price; a discounted model can come out at or even below that list price while the discount lasts. The exact price of every DeepSeek model is in the table. What you get for it: one account, one key and one balance for more than 100 models, images and video included; top-ups by mobile money, no bank card needed, with the operator fee absorbed by Tchavi; credits that do not expire.
Create a Tchavi account, top up from 1,000 F CFA, then generate a key in your dashboard. It is a Tchavi key (it starts with sk-tch-), not a DeepSeek key: you do not need a DeepSeek account. The same key calls DeepSeek V4 Pro and every other model on Tchavi.
No. Every call to DeepSeek V4 Pro or DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is taken from your balance, per token. Top up from 1,000 F CFA; credits do not expire.
Top up with mobile money, no bank card needed: for example M-Pesa in Kenya, MTN MoMo or Airtel Money in Uganda and Rwanda, MTN MoMo in Zambia. No DeepSeek account to open: you call DeepSeek with your Tchavi key.
Yes. Tchavi exposes an OpenAI-compatible API: keep your code and change two lines, baseURL (https://tchavi.com/api/v1) and apiKey (your sk-tch-… key), then pass the model name, for example deepseek-v4.1-flash.
For a large volume of messages, look at DeepSeek V4.1 Flash; DeepSeek V4 Pro is the highest-priced model in the table. The table shows the current price of every DeepSeek model.
No: Tchavi does not store your prompts, including the ones you send to DeepSeek. Usage logs hold token counts only.
