Every model both sell, at each one's price

Most widely sold first. Each price is the cheapest that provider charges for the model under the standard blend, three parts input to one part output per million tokens. A free tier is a limit rather than a price, and a price below the maker's own with nothing published to account for it is left out, so neither can be marked as the cheaper of the two.
