List prices, USD, directional. Rates are provider list prices per 1M tokens and are meant for comparison, not billing. Batch rates shown as 50% off are derived where a provider offers batch but does not publish a separate figure. Preview, promo, intro, peak/off-peak, long-context, and third-party-host prices are labeled where they apply. Token counts vary by tokenizer, so per-token price is not always a like-for-like cost. Always confirm with the provider before relying on a number. Prices as of 2026-09-29.

Costs are directional. Batch applies only where a provider offers it; the cached rate applies to the cached share of input only where the provider publishes one. Reasoning models generate hiddenreasoning tokens billed as output — measure real usage before trusting a per-request figure.
Browse by provider
Anthropic
Anthropic makes the Claude family — frontier models tuned for reliable tool use, long-context work, and coding.
OpenAI
OpenAI ships the GPT-6 and GPT-5 series; its o-series reasoning models are deprecated, with shutdowns in October and December 2026.
Google’s Gemini API pairs 1M-token context windows with some of the lowest budget-tier prices.
xAI
xAI’s Grok models compete on output price and large context windows.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek offers open-weight-derived models at aggressive prices, with deep prompt-cache discounts.
Mistral
Mistral’s European lineup runs from the flagship Medium down to Small and the even cheaper Ministral 3 3B, all with 256K-token context windows and discounted cached input.
Meta
Meta now sells its Muse Spark models directly through the Meta Model API.
Alibaba (Qwen)
Alibaba’s Qwen models are served through Model Studio.
How LLM API pricing works
LLM APIs bill per token, quoted in dollars per 1M tokens, split into an inputrate (everything you send) and a higher output rate (what the model generates). Beyond the sticker rate, real cost hinges onprompt caching, the Batch API,reasoning tokens, and each model'stokenizer — two models at the same per-token price can cost different amounts on the same text.
