Below the maker's own price with nothing published to account for it, from a catalog we could not read reliably, or a free tier, which is a limit rather than a price. Why

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.

Evidence

Each is a measurement of the stated version and configuration. Two benchmarks are not the same test, and a score is not the chance your own work succeeds.

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 OpenRouter's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why. Amazon trained Nova 2 Lite and sells it on no catalog we read, so the price every row is measured against is OpenRouter's.

Same as maker
Sold by someone else at the price the maker charges.
Costs more
Sold by someone else for more than the maker charges.
Free tier
Given away inside a quota. A limit is not a price, so it is never called cheapest.

Similar models

Models from other labs that do what Nova 2 Lite does, cheapest first. Each percentage is against Nova 2 Lite's cheapest price, $0.85 per M tokens.

Frequently asked

1,000,000 tokens in one call, which is about 1M, and it can call your own functions.
How does Nova 2 Lite compare with the rest of the market?
At $0.85 per million tokens, OpenRouter's own price is 4% below the typical $0.88 across the 392 text models we track.
