Frequently asked questions
How do I compare AI model API token prices?
This table covers 3 models and 11 available API channels from 5 providers. Compare input, output and cached input prices separately per million tokens; your cost depends on the amount of each token type used.
Which APIs have the lowest input token prices?
Among available channel headline prices, the lowest rates per million input tokens in each currency are: gemini-3.8-flash (XycAi) at CNY 2.5875; gemini-3.6-flash (Google Vertex AI) at $0.75. Check output, cached rates and other price variants separately.
Can I directly compare API prices in different currencies?
Compare amounts in the same currency first. Quotes retain the provider’s original currency, and the lowest input rates above are listed separately by currency. Cross-currency comparisons require an exchange rate check.
When was the API pricing data updated?
The latest database price-row update among available LLM channels and their public price variants is 2026-10-29 (UTC). This does not mean every channel was verified that day; confirm the provider’s quote before purchasing.
