APIDir Model cost calculator

22 tracked models · 21 published comparisons · 1 monitored

AI API models and provider price comparisons

Choose a model family or exact version, see how many providers have accepted evidence, then compare costs without mixing token meters, image settings, video duration, service tier, or source freshness. A cheapest result needs three matching provider channels.

Exact media evidence

One model, one configuration, then compare routes.

Video and image prices enter a ranking only after the exact model, task, tier, resolution, duration, audio setting, billing unit, source, and freshness all match.

Vertical coverage

Model-to-provider price coverage

Each model shows how many providers have accepted evidence and which billing meters are present. Open a published model page for exact costs; APIDir never merges unlike token, image, video, or compute meters into one fake cheapest price.

22 tracked models mapped to public providers and accepted price evidence.
