36 models · updated 2026-08-21 · basket: 3:1 input:output, list price, no caching or batch discounts · Methodology

A token is not a litre. Models burn different numbers of tokens for the same job — a reasoning model bills for thinking you never see — so a cheaper price per token does not always mean a cheaper answer. We publish the metered price, not a score.
