Pricing rank FAQ

How is cheapest ranked?
We sort by published input rate per 1M tokens. Ties break on the example request (1000 input and 500 output). This is a price rank, not a quality score.
What is the example cost?
One request using 1000 input tokens and 500 output tokens at published standard rates, with no cache hit and no batch discount.
Are these live API prices?
No. Rates are curated from official provider pages and stamped with a checked date. Confirm critical budgets on the provider’s pricing page.
