How to choose the right LLM API
Picking the best model for your project depends on three factors: capability, cost, and context. The table above compares 300+ models across 50+ providers so you can find the optimal balance. Use the search bar to find a specific model, stack filters (Vision + Open source) to narrow results, or sort by Intelligence to find the smartest models in your budget.
Cheapest pick
Sort by price ascending. Many capable models cost under $0.50/1M input tokens.
Best value
Sort by Value score — balances intelligence against cost.
Smartest models
Sort by IQ to see the highest-ranked models by benchmark performance.
Large context
Sort by context window — some models handle 1M+ tokens.
Frequently asked questions about LLM pricing
How do I find the cheapest LLM for my use case?▼
Sort the table by Input Price (ascending) to see the most affordable models. Then toggle filters for specific capabilities — Vision, Open source, or Reasoning — to narrow results. For a personalized recommendation, use the Cost Calculator to match your usage volume, token ratio, and priority (cheapest, fastest, smartest).
What does the Value score mean?▼
Value = Intelligence ÷ log(price). It measures how much capability you get per dollar spent. A mid-priced model with strong benchmarks often beats a cheap model with poor performance on value. Sort by Value to find the best bang for your buck.
Should I use a subscription (e.g. OpenCode Go, ChatGPT Plus) or API pricing?▼
It depends on your volume. Subscriptions are better for moderate usage (under ~10M tokens/month) and include free rate limits. API pricing is more cost-effective at high volumes and gives you access to the latest models. Use the Cost Calculator with your actual token counts to compare.
Why do the same models have different prices across providers?▼
Different providers negotiate different rates with model creators, add their own margins, or subsidize certain models to attract users. For example, DeepSeek R1 is available on both OpenRouter and Together AI at different prices. The table shows each provider's listed price — check multiple rows for the same model name.
How often is the pricing data updated?▼
Pricing is fetched from the OpenRouter API and cached for up to 1 hour. Models and prices change frequently — this site reflects the latest available pricing from each provider's API.
Which model has the largest context window?▼
Sort the table by Context (descending) to see models with the biggest context windows. Current leaders include Gemini 2.5 Pro (1M+ tokens), DeepSeek models, and Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 (200K tokens).
