AI API for Indian startups
Rupee billing, UPI and netbanking payment, GST invoicing, no international card. unoblox is built for how Indian startups actually pay for software.
Build faster with zero payment friction
Indian startup founders run into the same wall with most AI APIs: an international card requirement, billing that doesn't map cleanly to a rupee budget, and a finance team stuck reconciling it every month. unoblox removes that friction — rupee invoices, Indian payment methods, and nothing to explain to your accountant beyond a normal vendor bill.
What actually changes for a startup
One number on the invoice
When your accountant asks what you spent on AI this month, the answer is a single rupee figure straight off a GST-compliant invoice — not an estimate, not a number that shifts depending on when you look at it. Auditors and investors can read it without translation.
Payment methods that work day one
UPI, netbanking, or Razorpay — no international card, no waiting on a cross-border transfer to clear before you can start building.
One API for every stage of the product
Prototype on the free tier, ship on a mid-tier model, and scale to a frontier model later — all through the same endpoint and key, so switching is a one-line change, not a new integration.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need to be a registered company to sign up? No — sign up with an email to start on the free tier. Add your GSTIN later (Settings → Billing) once you want GST-compliant invoices for input-tax-credit claims.
Q: Can I switch models mid-project if costs start to add up?
Yes — that's the point of a single API. Move routine tasks from GPT-4o to DeepSeek V4 Flash (a fraction of the cost) and keep the expensive model only for what actually needs it. Same request format, just a different model value.
Q: Do you offer any startup pricing or credits?
Reach out to sales@unoblox.ai — startup terms are evaluated case by case rather than through a fixed self-serve program today.
Q: What happens if my balance runs out mid-week? Requests pause and you're notified — no silent overdraft, no surprise bill. Top up any time via UPI or netbanking in a couple of minutes.
Q: Can I white-label unoblox inside my own product?
Reach out to sales@unoblox.ai to discuss reseller and platform terms — this is handled directly rather than through a published self-serve rate.
Q: How do I get support if something breaks? Email support is available to every account; response times depend on your plan — check your dashboard for current terms.
