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 2026-11-02.

Pricing notes
- Regional pricing: Priced on Alibaba Model Studio (Singapore); prices shown are the Singapore region — other regions differ.
- Alibaba says the qwen-max alias is updated in a rolling manner and describes it as functionally equivalent to its January 2025 snapshot (32K context, 8K max output). Alibaba's current recommended flagship is Qwen3.8-Max. Cached input shown is the implicit-cache rate; Batch is 50% off.
