Use My Own AI: bring your own key, run unlimited AI
A flat-fee tier where you bring your own AI provider key and run unlimited matching, interviews and scoring — no per-action credits.
June 12, 2026 · 4 min read
Most AI hiring tools meter every action, and the bill climbs with your volume. If you're hiring at scale that can get expensive fast. So we built a different option: Use My Own AI.
How it works
Pick a provider, paste your API key once, and you're set. From then on every AI feature runs on your key and costs zero Spoon credits — there's nothing to top up and no balance to watch. It's a flat monthly fee, or annual with two months free.
Who it's for
It's built for high-volume teams and agencies: if you already run a lot of AI, paying one predictable fee and using usage at cost is simply cheaper and calmer than metering every match and interview.
Your key, kept safe
Your key is encrypted and never shown back to you, and you can remove it whenever you like. You stay in control of your own AI usage and spend.
