Evidence boundary
What the monthly comparison proves
Only the base price band below 200,000 prompt tokens is included. Higher long-context rates, tools, throughput, latency, limits, and service quality are outside this comparison.
A row qualifies only when the exact model route, channel, region, mode, tier, and input/output meters match the reviewed definition. Cached input becomes mandatory when your cached-input volume is above zero.
