How this ranking works
All per-token prices: 97,455 prices from 871 sites (about 765 companies). 89,631 are ranked, from 861 sites (about 755 companies); 7,824 more are listed separately and not ranked. Prices collected up to 2026-10-17.
This model has 4687 recorded prices; 2233 can be compared directly (1902 ranked, 331 listed separately). Not comparable yet: price not parsed yet 984, tiered by rules (see Tiered prices) 795, billed per request or another unit 185, display unit not confirmed 174, ratio looks unset 75, scope of the official doc price not confirmed 48, new price under review; showing the previous one 4
1369 recent · 51 stale (older than 10 days, or not updated by this refresh) · 0 unverified timestamps. Minimum and median only count recent paid prices; older prices stay in the table. 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.
