Pay for the ChatGPT API in India
Pay for GPT-4o and GPT-5 from India in rupees. No US card, no billing surprises, and a GST invoice every month via unoblox.
Use OpenAI's GPT models in India, paid in rupees
OpenAI doesn't accept Indian payment methods—you can't pay with UPI or netbanking, only an international card, and the resulting charge carries international card fees plus no GST invoice for your auditor. unoblox is your rupee gateway to GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-5, and GPT-5 mini.
How it works: one line of code
Your existing OpenAI SDK code stays the same. Just change the base URL and key:
# Instead of api.openai.com
client = OpenAI(
api_key="ub-gw-YOUR_KEY",
base_url="https://api.unoblox.ai/v1"
)
# All your existing calls work unchanged:
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="openai/gpt-4o",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain GST in Hindi"}]
)
GPT model pricing in rupees (per 1M tokens)
| Model | Input | Output | Vision | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-5 mini | ₹25.2 | ₹201.6 | No | Budget reasoning |
| GPT-4o | ₹252 | ₹1,008 | Yes | Balanced work, images |
| GPT-4.1 | ₹201.6 | ₹806.4 | No | Legacy projects |
| GPT-5 | ₹126 | ₹1,008 | Yes | Deep reasoning |
Worked example: 1M input + 1M output tokens on GPT-4o costs ₹252 + ₹1,008 = ₹1,260 via unoblox, on one GST invoice. Paying OpenAI directly through an international card typically costs meaningfully more once card-network fees are added, with no GST invoice at the end of it.
Token counting works the same way
unoblox doesn't change how OpenAI counts tokens—the same tokenizer, the same context windows, the same limits per model. If you've already sized prompts and completions against GPT-4o or GPT-5, those numbers carry over unchanged; only the invoice currency and the payment method change.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Is unoblox an official OpenAI reseller?
No—unoblox is a third-party gateway. Your request is routed to OpenAI's own models; unoblox handles Indian billing, invoicing, and support on top, while you keep your usual data and usage logs.
Q: Do I lose any features—vision, function-calling, JSON mode?
No. Streaming, tools, JSON mode, and vision all work identically. The API is fully OpenAI-compatible.
Q: Does OpenAI treat requests from unoblox any differently?
No. Your request reaches OpenAI's servers like any other API call; unoblox sits in front for routing, billing, and invoicing, not in the middle of how OpenAI serves it.
Q: Can I use the same key for other models too—Claude, Qwen?
Yes. One ub-gw-… key works across the whole catalog. Pass model="openai/gpt-4o" or model="anthropic/claude-opus"—same key either way.
Q: Is there a monthly invoice?
Yes. Every month you get a GST invoice itemized by model and token usage—import it into your GST portal for input tax credit.
Q: What happens if OpenAI's prices change?
We update ours within about a week. Your existing balance and any pending jobs keep the old rate; new calls use the new one.
