This is a cost comparison, not a quality leaderboard. The useful question is whether a cheaper model still clears your product-specific evaluation threshold. Price only matters after the model can do the job.
The math
Actual invoices can differ because providers may apply long-context pricing, caching rules, batch rates, tool-call fees, regional processing, negotiated contracts, taxes, or future pricing changes. Treat the output as a planning estimate.
Pricing sources
Current model rates are sourced from official provider pricing pages and verified on August 28, 2026. The methodology page records the source links and known limitations.
Frequently asked question
Does the cheapest model mean the best choice?
No. Capability, latency, tool support, context, reliability, data requirements and your own evaluations should be considered alongside API cost.
Can I use this estimate for a production budget?
Use it to create scenarios and catch order-of-magnitude mistakes. Before committing spend, verify the selected model's live provider pricing and compare the estimate with actual usage telemetry.
