How this ranking works
All per-token prices: 96,427 prices from 839 sites (about 733 companies). 88,950 are ranked, from 826 sites (about 720 companies); 7,477 more are listed separately and not ranked. Prices collected up to 2026-10-10.
This model has 4104 recorded prices; 2051 can be compared directly (1815 ranked, 236 listed separately). Not comparable yet: tiered by rules (see Tiered prices) 754, price not parsed yet 590, new price under review; showing the previous one 319, display unit not confirmed 175, billed per request or another unit 123, scope of the official doc price not confirmed 48, ratio looks unset 44
9 recent · 0 stale (older than 7 days, or not updated by this refresh) · 0 unverified timestamps. No recent prices to summarize in this group. 0 zero-valued pairs are separately unverified, without proof of free eligibility. Timing does not verify payment, upstream identity or quality.
Prices are converted to site credits using each site’s published ratio. What you actually pay depends on its top-up rate. Input, output and cache prices in each row come from the same plan. Several sites run by the same company take one place in the ranking: its cheapest plan, with the other sites listed under it. We judge “same company” by identical prices, status pages or homepage code; this is not a legal finding. To see every site’s prices, choose “All plans” or filter by provider.
“Self-declared unofficial channel” means the plan name itself says “reverse-engineered” or similar. We have not verified their source or quality. Minimum and median only count regular plans.
