Larger is not always better: a bigger context window or output limit only matters if your work needs it. These figures compare price and limits, not answer quality.

Excludes prompt-cache discounts, batch and priority pricing, regional rates, tool fees and tax. Reasoning tokens count as output, so a model that thinks longer costs more per request than these figures show.
What Kingy measured
Kingy's own runs, not vendor claims. These are small tests: read each one for its tasks and limits before generalising. All results are also on the AI Model Board.

Side by side
What would it cost you?
Standard list rates only. Excludes prompt-cache discounts, batch and priority pricing, regional rates, tool fees and tax. Reasoning tokens count as output. A long-context rate applies when one request's input passes the model's threshold.
Prices of other AI models
See the checked prices of all the main AI models in one table, or pick any two models in the tool above.
How this works
Prices come from the same checked data behind Kingy's AI cost calculator and the Kingy Facts API. OpenAI, Anthropic and Google prices are reviewed by a person and re-checked against the official pricing page every few hours. Prices for other providers are read automatically from their official pricing pages by fixed rules, and the table says so.
"Not confirmed right now" means Kingy could not confirm the price within its check window, so it shows no number. Use the official link instead. Retirement dates come from Kingy AI Deadlines. Every source re-check is logged in the public accuracy ledger.
Why isn't my model listed?
Only models with a tracked official price page are listed. Embedding, rerank and moderation models are left out because they have no output price to compare.
Does this show benchmarks?
It shows Kingy's own tests when a model has been through them: the AI Accuracy Index and Kingy's coding and data tasks. These are small tests, so read each one for its tasks and limits before generalising. Vendor benchmarks are left out, because results depend on the test and settings used; Kingy's full comparisons cover them when one exists for your pair.
