    # Provider Model $/M in $/M out Read (in) Write (out) Total vs #1

    How to read it: “Total” is the cost of the model reading your content once (input) and writing that much back (output) — tokens ≈ words × 1.33, the same maths as the full site. Sort any column by tapping its header.

    Batch (async, 50% off) and cache-hit (repeated input at 10% of rate) follow the common industry pattern; availability varies by provider — check the ↗ link on each row for the official page.

    Every rate is the provider’s own published price, web-verified nightly across all 22 providers.
