The voices of our users are what we treasure most. This wall collects feedback and stories from WeChat groups, X / Twitter, emails, and customer interviews — unedited, with only privacy redactions.
This wall is a work in progress. If APIYI has helped you, send us a screenshot or a one-liner (DM or email) and we’ll feature it here, anonymized as needed.
WeChat exchange: a tool-vendor developer shows a fox sticker generated in their software with gpt-image-2.5-flare and says the APIYI docs are what made the integration possible

**Tool-vendor developer · WeChat · 2026-09-10** — They wired APIYI's `gpt-image-2.5-flare` into the image-generation panel of their own software and sent over a fresh cartoon fox sticker it had just produced. We replied with a quick 'sounds good' and the gpt-image-2 docs link, and they added: 'I built it into my software exactly the way your docs describe. Thank goodness for those docs, otherwise my head would be spinning.' Clear docs are the least stressful support we can offer a developer.

WeChat exchange: customer asks about monthly plans; APIYI explains pay-as-you-go billing and suggests switching to claude-sonnet-5 and starting new Chatbox sessions to control context growth

**Chatbox customer · WeChat · 2026-08-02** — They asked whether we sell a monthly plan. We told them straight: 'We're a pay-as-you-go API service, so no monthly plans.' Then gave two ways to spend less anyway — switch to the newer `claude-sonnet-5` (cheaper per token than the 4-5 they were on), and in Chatbox start a fresh chat for each new task instead of letting one thread grow its context forever. They confirmed the model name and went off to update their config.

WeChat exchange: customer tops up 700 RMB and praises the fast replies and quick problem resolution

**Chatbox customer · WeChat · 2026-08-02** — We tuned their Claude usage and costs in the morning; by the afternoon they were back to top up ￥700, with a note: 'Quick replies whenever something comes up, and the issues actually get fixed — really great 👍'. Bonus credit is granted by the system around 00:00 (UTC+8) each day and shows up in the console the next day.

WeChat exchange: a research lab hit 400 errors on an image-understanding task; APIYI pinpointed the base64 encoding step, and the customer praised the reliable service and promised to recommend APIYI for lab procurement

**Research-lab customer · WeChat · 2026-07-18** — Their image-understanding task kept returning 400. One look at the logs and we called it: 'Your code is fine — the problem is the image-to-base64 step,' plus a link to our vision-understanding docs. Minutes later: 'okkk, found it.' 'Your service is seriously reliable — next time our lab does procurement, I'll be pitching you.'

WeChat exchange: after putting the key directly into config.toml the new way, the customer got Codex working on the first try and thanked the team

**Codex customer · WeChat · 2026-07-13** — Their Codex desktop app kept failing with a missing environment variable. We traced it to the `env_key` gotcha together and switched to putting the key straight into `config.toml` (`experimental_bearer_token`) — it worked on the first try: 'Works now, seems pretty good.' 'Thanks!' We folded the sturdier setup into our docs the same night — a genuine win-win.

WeChat exchange: APIYI proactively alerted a customer to a Claude cache-billing anomaly after midnight and helped resolve it; customer praises the service

**Claude customer · WeChat · 2026-07-12** — At 00:30 (UTC+8) we proactively alerted a customer to a Claude cache-billing anomaly and helped troubleshoot it. Once the `claude-opus-4-8` logs were back to normal, they wrote: 'An alert this late at night — that's service above and beyond.' 'Five stars.'

WeChat exchange: customer says they searched everywhere and only APIYI works well — stable and money-saving thanks to high cache hits

Claude customer · WeChat · 2026-06-16 — After topping up $100 with a 10% bonus, they left one line: 'Looked everywhere — yours is the only one that just works.' Our reply: we're stable because enterprise customers all run on us, and high cache-hit rates save money too — though Claude models themselves aren't cheap.

WeChat exchange with aki: concerned about prompt tampering; APIYI confirms it never injects prompts or logs traffic

**aki · WeChat · 2026-06-02** — A competitor got caught secretly injecting 12 lines of junk into users' prompts, then blacklisting the blogger who flagged it. The customer asked if we do the same — 'No. We never add prompts. We provide an API forwarding service.' **APIYI never tampers with or logs user inputs and outputs — a pure transparent proxy, forwarding directly to the official API.**

WeChat feedback from DoujianGle: high quality tier follows prompts well with high fidelity

Pro user · DoujianGle · WeChat · 2026-06-02 — 'The high tier really nails prompt-following — high fidelity to my prompts, no scattering into a pile of junk images.' Done right inside APIYI's built-in image tool — no standalone .py to wrangle.

WeChat feedback from long-time user Archer: 'Your service has always been great, I've recommended it to 4 friends'

Long-time user Archer · WeChat · 2026-06-02 — While reporting a pricing config bug on claude-opus-4-8, Archer casually mentioned recommending us to 4 friends. We sent a $30 thank-you credit.

Zhang · CTO of an AI startup

“The 1:7 fixed exchange rate is more stable than the official one. We integrated Gemini 3 Pro in half an hour, and our team no longer gets paged at 3am about Claude rate limits.”

Indie developer · @sarah_codes

“Finally a Claude proxy that doesn’t throttle me at 3am. The 5% off on the ClaudeCode tier plus the top-up bonus easily beats the official price by 20%.”

A SaaS team · 200M tokens / month

We started in November 2025, mainly on Claude Opus and the GPT-5 family. Three things matter to us:
  • The 1:7 fixed rate spares our CFO from monthly FX explanations
  • 5% off on ClaudeCode + 15% top-up bonus pushes real cost 20%+ below official
  • Console logs filterable by model and user make accounting painless

Cross-border e-commerce · localization team

“GPT-5 translation quality is consistently good. The console shows per-key spend in real time, so ops and finance don’t need to chase me for reports anymore.”

University lab · multimodal research

We use Nano Banana Pro and Sora2 for student projects. University procurement is slow, but APIYI takes RMB top-ups and issues invoices — students can run experiments with study cards.

Freelance photographer · post-production

“gemini-3-pro-image-preview output files are larger but the quality is genuinely strong. Pay-per-image gives me clear cost visibility — way better than subscriptions for ad-hoc work.”

A game studio · NPC dialogue system

During peak player hours we’re very sensitive to Claude rate limits. After switching to the APIYI ClaudeCode tier, peak-hour fluctuations dropped noticeably vs. hitting Anthropic directly — near-zero complaints in our staged rollout.

Solo developer · automation scripts

“The docs are even more detailed than the official ones — every model’s endpoint, pricing, rate limits and best practices are there, and the AI Radar keeps me up to date on releases.”
