# Promo pricing

Time-limited discounts, per-customer special prices and the pricing rule that applies.

Besides the public price on the Models page, the price you pay can be lower for two reasons.

## Time-limited discounts

A discount lowers the price of a model for a set time. The public price shows crossed out next to the discounted price. A discount ends by itself on time; you do not need to do anything.

## Special price per customer

sivcloud can set a special price for one customer on a given model. This price shows on the Models page for your account.

## The lowest wins

For each component (input, cache, output) you pay the **lowest** of the public price, the public price after discount, and the special price. Discounts and special prices do not stack. When several discounts are active for the same model, the one with the largest percentage is used.

This rule applies only to models priced per token.

## Plan allowance

The allowance of a [subscription plan](https://sivcloud.com/en/docs/console/subscriptions/) is still weighed at the public price, so a discount cannot silently make the allowance larger. A promo price only changes the rupiah taken from your balance, including when the allowance runs out and a request is paid from balance.
