Evidence-gated lists

AI API pricing rankings built from comparable evidence

Price rankings require matching models and meters plus an explicit review of every material route and configuration field. Evidence coverage is reported separately and never presented as provider quality.

A missing winner is a useful result.

APIDir does not mix per-request and per-second rates, unknown and explicit audio settings, or materially different modes to create a longer list. If fewer than three unique providers pass the gate, the result stays unranked.

Published tables order the recorded price meter from low to high. Provider-specific route and tier names remain visible; the order does not assert those service features are equivalent. It does not score latency, output quality, uptime, support, limits, legal terms, or total production cost.
