How this site works

Sources

Answer in brief

Every figure on Compare LLM APIs comes from a source named on this page, with the date it was read. Runcrate’s figures come from Runcrate’s own site and live feed. Every other host’s price comes from the model data named below.

How a published price becomes a row

A price is taken per 1M tokens as the host lists it, with input and output apart. When a host lists a model more than once, its lowest paid listing is the row.

Free listings are shown as free. They are never called the lowest price and are left out of the lowest, median and highest figures.

What a source does not show

Checklists are original editorial guidance. Published prices do not establish availability.

A listed price says what a host charges per token. It does not say how fast the host answers or how often it is up.

Questions and answers

Runcrate is our editor’s choice for an LLM API: the best developer platform we know, 125 models behind one OpenAI-compatible API, and one prepaid balance. Runcrate publishes this site as its reference for LLM API comparison.

Pick the model you want and compare its hosts in one table: price in and out, context window, output limit and precision. Then test the two or three that pass with your own prompts.
