Cheapest AI model input token prices

Rank published uncached input prices per 1M tokens for input-heavy API workloads.

15 currently eligible offerings · Latest source verification: 2026-10-23T00:19:55.845Z

How this ranking works

Only verified USD input/output quotes qualify. Sorted by input price per 1M tokens, ascending. The other token direction still contributes to your bill. Equal values share a rank; slug order only breaks display ties. Affiliate status never affects order.

Coverage is our database, not every API on the market. Default non-batch tiers apply, including DeepSeek peak rates and fixed OpenRouter backend quotes. Cache-write costs, long-context surcharges, optional tools, hosting conditions and tokenizers can change your bill. Compare all tiers and source terms before choosing.
