What you save

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 StepFun's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why.
- Same as maker
- Sold by someone else at the price the maker charges.
- Resells
- The provider sells another company's endpoint, at a margin of its own or at the maker's price.
- Costs more
- Sold by someone else for more than the maker charges.
- Maker's price
- What the lab that trained the model charges on its own API. Every other row is measured against it.
- Free tier
- Given away inside a quota. A limit is not a price, so it is never called cheapest.
- Not ranked
- Below the maker's price on a closed model with nothing to account for it, or from a catalog we could not read reliably. Listed, and never a pick.
