Price rankings
Ranked by the lowest paid rate any provider publishes, per million tokens. 1203 models carry one. Free tiers are excluded: they are rate-limited promotions rather than a rate to budget against.
Input
Models ranked by their lowest published input-token rate. Output shows the lowest output rate tracked for the same model and may come from a different provider.
