Claude Fable 5 pricing: reading the Relay365 share-of-official column

The pricing table: every lane in one place

Welcome to the Relay365 duty desk. When you open the Relay365 pricing page, you are looking at the whole picture at once: every lane sits on one table, so there is no second page to hunt for and no separate price sheet to cross-check. Each row names a model, its wire name, and four separate token rates — input, output, cache write and cache read — because the four token types are priced separately rather than folded into one blended number.

That structure matters more than it first appears. A request that writes a large prompt into the cache and then reads it back is doing two different things, and Relay365 shows a rate for each. The columns are per 1 million tokens in approximate USD, while the account itself is kept in CNY, so you can read the comparison in dollars and still manage your balance in the currency your account uses.

Relay365 is an independent third-party relay, run like a round-the-clock duty desk. It bills on a prepaid wallet with no monthly fee, and every call is settled on the token counts the upstream reports. If a call fails upstream with a 502 or 503, it is not billed. A disconnected stream is billed for what was actually used. Nothing here asks for a subscription contract or a minimum spend before you can begin.

The Claude Fable 5 row and the share-of-official column

Now find Claude Fable 5, wire name claude-fable-5. The share-of-official column answers a question developers often ask out loud: how does this rate sit against the published list price for the same model?

For Claude Fable 5, the official list price is $10 for input and $50 for output, with cache read at $1. The Relay365 row lists input at $3.79, output at $18.94, cache write at $4.66 and cache read at $0.2917. The output rate is about 38% of official — that is the figure the column is pointing at.

It is worth pausing over what that percentage does and does not say. It describes the output rate on this row. It is not a claim about the whole bill, and Relay365 does not present it as one. Input is $3.79 against $10, and cache read is $0.2917 against $1, so the row hands you the full picture instead of a single headline number.

A quick example. If you send 1 million input tokens and 100,000 output tokens a day on Claude Fable 5, that is $3.79 for input and $1.894 for output — about $5.68 a day, or $170.52 over 30 days. Work it out from the published rates and it stays checkable.

Nearby rows follow the same layout. Claude Fable 5.1 (claude-fable-5-1) lists input $4.00, output $20.01, cache write $4.93 and cache read $0.2375, with an output rate of about 40% of the $50 official list price. Claude Haiku 4.5 (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) shows input $0.3542, output $1.70, cache write $0.425 and cache read $0.0278, with output at about 34% of the $5 official list price. The pattern is the same on every row: one model, four rates, and one column that puts the number in context.

The signup page: credit, wallet and the refund window

Next comes the account page. A new Relay365 account starts with $0.25 in signup credit, enough to make a first call and watch the pipeline work before you top up. The wallet is prepaid and there is no monthly fee, so unused balance simply stays where it is until you spend it.

Top-ups come with a clear refund rule: within 14 days of a top-up, unused balance can be refunded minus what was consumed and the payment channel's fees. Bounty and promotional credit are not refundable. That distinction is worth reading once, because it tells you which balance lines behave the same way and which do not.

The referral bounty is listed alongside: 18% at level 1 and 6% at level 2 of what referred members pay. It can be withdrawn from $11.11 or moved into the wallet, so you can keep it inside the account or take it out once the threshold is met.

The dashboard: keys, logs and the ledger

After signing up, the dashboard is where the table turns into something you can operate. API keys can be tagged, and each key can be bound to a lane, so a Claude key stays on the Claude side and the others stay where you put them. Quick-wiring snippets sit close by, ready to copy into the client you actually use.

The usage log holds the latest 200 requests, and each entry shows the time, model, input, output, cache recall, charge and result of the call. One detail is stated plainly: the log does not show which key made the call. Every request can still be traced, though — by when it happened, what it cost and how it turned out.

There is also a ledger covering the wallet, bounty and pass accounts, plus in-site messages to the desk (log in first). Six interface languages are available. If something looks off, the duty desk is a message away rather than a support maze.

Two operating limits are worth knowing before you build a busy client on top of this. An HTTP 429 appears when one key makes more than 120 calls in 60 seconds, or when one account keeps more than 8 requests in flight. Those are the guardrails, and they are easier to respect when you can see the traffic in the log.

Wiring Claude Code and choosing a duty pass

Claude models on Relay365 run only from the official Claude Code and Claude Desktop clients, and Claude Code needs to be 2.1.285 or newer. Cursor, Cherry Studio, Cline, OpenCode, SDKs and cURL pair only with GPT and other non-Claude lanes, so if your workflow starts in Claude Code, keep it there.

If you want a Claude lane with more room than a top-up gives you, the duty pass is the optional route. The Claude 14-day pass costs $50.97 and draws up to $700 of quota at the duty-pass rate x2.5, with at most $380 of quota per 7 days. The Claude 30-day pass at $94.03 draws up to $1400 of quota, capped at $450 per 7 days. A pass comes with a dedicated key that never touches the wallet, and other models always use the wallet.

Set that beside the wallet arithmetic above: if you send 1 million input tokens and 100,000 output tokens a day on Claude Fable 5, you are looking at about $5.68 a day, so a 30-day run of that shape is $170.52. The duty pass is simply a different way to buy capacity, not a reason to stop reading the row.

One more corner of the table is worth a look. GPT-6 Astra (gpt-6-astra) lists input $0.7444, output $3.72 and cache read $0.075, against official list prices of $10, $50 and $1, so its output rate is about 7% of official. Same table, same four token columns, same share-of-official column — just a different lane.

What the duty desk would summarise

Here is the short version of the walk. One table holds every lane. Four token types are priced separately. The share-of-official column gives Claude Fable 5's output rate of about 38% of official in context, right next to the rates you can multiply by yourself. A prepaid wallet, $0.25 in signup credit, a 14-day refund window on top-ups and a usage log that traces every request keep the account easy to read and easy to adjust.

When you are ready, create a Relay365 account, claim the signup credit and open the pricing table yourself — the duty desk will be on the other side of it.
