MethodWhere these prices come from
Prices come from our LLM API pricing timeline, read once a day from each provider's own pricing page; a value is kept only if the same number appears in the page text. – means the page does not publish that price. The monthly costs and alternatives are our arithmetic on those prices, not figures from DeepSeek.
