Token counts vary by tokenizer and model; non-OpenAI counts are estimates. Cost is an estimate and provider pricing can change. See each model's source on the pricing page.
How to compare models fairly
A fair comparison fixes the workload and varies only the model. Paste one real prompt, set a realistic output length, and read cost per request and context usage together, since a cheaper model with a smaller context window may not fit your task at all. The cheapest option is highlighted for the exact inputs you enter.
What to look at beyond price
Price is only one dimension. Context window size determines whether your full prompt fits. Speed affects user experience in real-time applications. Quality determines whether you need one attempt or many. A model that costs 3x more but needs no retries and no prompt engineering can be cheaper in total engineering and compute cost than a cheap model that requires significant tuning.
FAQ
Is the cheapest model always best?
No. Balance price against context window, quality and speed. This tool shows cost and context side by side so you can weigh them for your use case.
How do GPT-4 and Claude compare on price?
Claude and GPT-4 class models are in a similar price tier, both significantly more expensive than budget alternatives. The exact difference depends on the specific model variant. Enter your token counts above to see a direct cost comparison for your workload.
Is DeepSeek a reliable cheaper alternative?
DeepSeek models are significantly cheaper and perform well on many benchmarks. The main considerations are data privacy (servers are based in China), occasional availability issues, and slightly lower performance on certain English-language edge cases. Many teams use DeepSeek for cost-sensitive tasks and a flagship model for quality-critical ones.
How often do LLM prices change?
Prices change frequently — sometimes several times per year — as providers compete and infrastructure costs fall. All prices in this calculator link to official sources with verification dates. Re-check before finalizing a budget for a new project.
