Official prices are the vendor's cash prices. Inference providers also list cash prices and can be compared directly. Relays list prices in site credit; what you actually pay depends on each site's top-up rate, so they cannot be compared with official prices directly.

These plans are marked as test, internal, disabled, gated by top-up or membership, or have a near-zero ratio. They may not be purchasable or stable, so they are listed separately and left out of the ranking and statistics.
These are special editions of the model (thinking, max, search, batch, long context, free, etc.). They are priced differently from the base model, so they are listed separately and not ranked. Names that only add an effort level such as low, high or nothinking are compared with the base model.
All per-token prices: 93,968 prices from 854 sites (about 751 companies). 84,786 are ranked, from 838 sites (about 736 companies); 9,182 more are listed separately and not ranked. Prices collected up to 2026-10-24.
This model has 860 recorded prices; 349 can be compared directly (311 ranked, 38 listed separately). Not comparable yet: price not parsed yet 323, tiered by rules (see Tiered prices) 72, ratio looks unset 55, new price under review; showing the previous one 22, display unit not confirmed 13, scope of the official doc price not confirmed 12, billed per request or another unit 9
1 recent · 0 stale (older than 10 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.
