What you save

A page is about 600 tokens in and 60 out, a support reply 200 in and 300 out, an email 150 in and 250 out. Nothing else is counted: no cache discount, no batch rate, no free tier.

How we count

Prices are per million tokens. The big number on each row is blended 3 in : 1 out, the way most work uses a model. A price below OpenAI's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why.
