Cheapest for this job

“Tier” is our rough capability judgment (1 = light, 4 = frontier), not a benchmark. Picks are the cheapest models at or above the tier.

Simple Q&A / chat

Needs tier ≥1; example 10M in / 2M out per month
  1. GPT-OSS 20B (Groq) — $1.35/mo
  2. GPT-6 Luna — $2.00/mo
  3. Qwen3.8 Flash (Together) — $2.44/mo

Caveat: Small models are fine for FAQs and short answers but hallucinate more on niche facts.

Coding

Needs tier ≥2; example 20M in / 5M out per month
  1. GLM-5.3 Flash (Together) — $5.50/mo
  2. GPT-OSS 120B (Groq) — $6.00/mo
  3. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash — $12.00/mo

  1. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash — $32.40/mo
  2. Mistral Large 4 — $72.18/mo
  3. Grok 4.3 — $130.00/mo

Hard reasoning

Needs tier ≥3; example 10M in / 10M out per month
  1. Mistral Large 4 — $27.70/mo
  2. DeepSeek V4 Pro — $52.80/mo
  3. Grok 4.7 — $80.00/mo

Caveat: Reasoning models spend extra 'thinking' tokens billed as output, so real cost can be several times this estimate.
