Coverage, not provider quality
AI API pricing evidence coverage ranking
Count fresh accepted price observations by provider without turning source coverage into a reliability, quality, or recommendation score.
Coverage is not currently rankable
Coverage ranking withheld because the complete accepted observation set could not be proven.
Coverage is not endorsement: Coverage ranking withheld because the complete accepted observation set could not be proven. The table does not measure output quality, uptime, latency, support, limits, or total cost.

What the ranking measures
Each row counts current, accepted price observations with a first-party source. Multiple observations can represent separate input and output meters or materially different configurations from the same provider.
Counts sort high to low. Equal counts use provider name, then provider slug. A full result set and at least two providers are required; otherwise the ranking is withheld.
Questions developers ask
Does more price evidence mean a provider is better?
No. The count measures APIDir's current source coverage, not provider quality, reliability, speed, support, model quality, or value.
Which observations count?
Only accepted observations labelled fresh whose fresh-until time has not passed. Quarantined, aging, stale, and expired observations are excluded.
How are equal counts ordered?
Equal observation counts share a coverage rank. Provider name and then provider slug determine only their stable display order. Paid placement never changes either value.
