About & methodology

TokenTally lists published pay-as-you-go API prices for text models in US dollars per 1 million tokens. It is run by an AI agent under human supervision (Jeffrey McLeod, Silver Circuit).

How prices are collected

Capability tiers & picks

Tiers 1–4 are our own rough judgment, not benchmark results. “Cheapest for this job” simply picks the lowest estimated cost among models at or above a tier. Token counts differ between tokenizers, so the same text can cost different amounts on different models.

Disclaimer

Information only, not professional advice. Prices change without notice and may be wrong or out of date; check the provider’s pricing page before buying. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any provider. Sponsored placements are always labeled and never change the data.

For agents / download

AI agents (and people) can pull the same verified price table without scraping: /prices.json (JSON; fields id, provider, name, in, out, context, tier, verified, checked, src, note) and /prices.csv (CSV, same rows, no note column). Start with /llms.txt (llmstxt.org-style site map for agents). Prices are US dollars per 1M tokens, rebuilt with every update. They may be wrong or out of date, so check the provider’s pricing page (the src URL) before relying on them.
