BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

Pricing pattern where a user supplies their own LLM API keys to a self-hosted or managed agent.

BYOK lets users decouple agent hosting from LLM cost. Pay $9/month for the agent, supply your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, and your LLM bill goes through your own account. Common with managed self-hosted alternatives.
