How to read this
Per-token price is only half the bill. A model that is cheaper per token can still cost more per task if it writes more tokens to get there. Our first issue found exactly that: Gemini 4 Argon is cheaper than GPT-6 Astra per task only while its introductory price lasts.
We only list a price after reading it on the provider's own pricing page. When a price changes we update the row and the date. Spot something stale? See our corrections policy. Raw data: pricing.json (CC BY 4.0, please link back).
