METHODOLOGY
How prices are normalized and ranked
Choose one model and unit, compare complete plans, then adjust the input/output blend to your usage.
01 / METHOD
Put rates in matching units
Credit prices use each site’s recorded quota scale: quota-point rate ÷ points per credit unit × the site’s display multiplier. Rates are shown per million tokens as USD credits or CNY credits. Missing scales are never filled with defaults. USD credits, CNY credits and directly declared currency rates are compared separately; a display exchange rate does not establish a top-up conversion.
02 / METHOD
Start with the lowest input rate
Choose a model and unit. By default, the list sorts input rates from low to high and shows each site’s lowest complete plan within the current filters. You can sort by output, cache or blended rate, or show all plans. Changing the metric selects the plan for that metric; a matching model name does not certify its quality.
03 / METHOD
Keep input, output and cache rates together
Every row keeps input, output and cache rates from the same plan record. We never combine the cheapest fields from different plans. A complete plan needs explicit input and output rates. An undeclared cache rate stays unknown; an explicitly recorded zero stays zero.
04 / METHOD
Adjust the blend to your usage
The blended rate is per million total tokens: input rate × input share + output rate × output share. Adjust the input share and the output share follows; the page shows the selected assumption. This uses ordinary input and output rates. Cache rates are shown separately, without assuming a cache-hit rate.
05 / METHOD
Read the plan conditions with the price
Processing mode, context length, region and group affect where a rate applies. Use the row’s conditions and details when choosing. Tiered pricing, minimum charges, time windows and other complex rules remain in the details; records without an explicit input/output pair are not reduced to a sortable number. Unapplied membership multipliers and outdated marketing comparisons are not treated as selectable plan rates.
06 / METHOD
What public rates tell you
This list compares public rates. It does not establish the amount you will actually pay or rank service quality. Payment also depends on the payment method, credited balance, membership, bonuses and mandatory fees. Each record keeps its source, observation time and conditions. Recent and stale observations appear separately. Without a newer observation, the last record remains available for reference. Recalculation and page edits do not renew the price observation.
