LLM API pricing by model
The same model often costs very different amounts depending on who serves it, and the cheapest provider changes from model to model. Every price here was read off the provider's own pricing page on the date shown on the model's page. Open a model to compare its providers.
Prices checked 25 September 2026 or later. The full table is open data under CC-BY.

How these prices are collected
Candidate prices come from OpenRouter's public endpoint list. None is published until someone reads the same price on the provider's own pricing page; that page and the date are kept on every row. Where the direct price differs from OpenRouter's, the direct price is the one shown. Promotions are listed at the price charged today, with the list price in a note. EUR prices stay in EUR and rank by their value at the ECB reference rate.
The full dataset is open under CC-BY: CSV or JSON (docs). For free tiers, hosting and EU availability across every provider, see the inference APIs comparison.
