# apiToken.sale vs ProxyAPI

Both let you reach Claude without an Anthropic account. The differences are in how you pay, how much you save, and whether the endpoint is truly Anthropic-native.

## Native Anthropic endpoint

apiToken.sale exposes the standard Anthropic Messages API at https://api.apitoken.sale, so Claude Code, Cursor and the Anthropic SDKs work unchanged — no adapter layer between you and Claude.

## Discount, not markup

- Progressive B2C discount up to 80% off official Claude spend.
- One prepaid key and balance for Opus, Sonnet and Haiku.
- Card or cryptocurrency top-ups that never expire.

## When each fits

- apiToken.sale — a native Anthropic endpoint with a progressive discount, lifetime key spending limits and optional expiration.
- A generic reseller — may suit you if you already use its other providers.
- Both remove the Anthropic-account barrier; the difference is price and how native the Claude access is.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is apiToken.sale cheaper than a standard reseller?

It applies a progressive discount of up to 80% to official Claude spend rather than adding a markup on top of list prices.

### Do my Anthropic tools still work?

Yes — it is the native Anthropic Messages API, so Claude Code, Cursor and the SDKs need only a base-URL change.
