How we count
OpenRouter is cheaper on 52 of the 194 models both sell, Eden AI on 35, and 107 cost the same at both. Both are the same kind of provider, routers running the same models, so the price is most of what separates them.
Each price is the cheapest that provider charges for the model, per M tokens, blended 3 in : 1 out. The smaller line under it is the price in and the price out.
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.
