AI API Pricing Tracker

Official API pricing from Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and OpenAI — verified directly from provider pages — compared against CheapAI's aggregated rates. All claims are evidence-backed with source links.

Methodology & Scope

  • Each row's "Official Input/Output" figures are sourced directly from the provider's public pricing page (linked in the Source column).
  • CheapAI model names are marketing labels. Where a direct official model ID is publicly documented, it is shown below the name. Where no verified mapping exists, this is clearly marked "Unverified".
  • DeepSeek input pricing is split by cache-miss ($0.28/1M) vs cache-hit ($0.028/1M) since this is how DeepSeek bills.
  • Gemini models listed are the currently active preview-tier as of March 2026. As preview models, pricing may change before stable release.
  • GPT-5.x model IDs are CheapAI's internal routing labels. No corresponding public model IDs were found on openai.com/api/pricing as of the checked date. Official pricing is not claimed for these rows.
✓ Verified = confirmed from provider page ~ Partial = model family confirmed, exact pricing may vary ? Unverified = no official ID found
