Notes. Text rates are per 1M tokens (input / output). Officialis the model maker's own first-party list price (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Z.ai, DeepSeek, Moonshot, etc.); OpenRouter, TokenMart and DeepInfra are pulled live from each provider's /v1/models. The green cell + Best Valuecolumn mark the cheapest buyable route and its discount versus Official. A listed price ≠ a working route — some discount upstreams aren't provisioned and 502 in practice, so re-probe before routing; the live status page tracks which are actually up. Image & video models are normalized to 16:9 1080p image · 5-second 1080p clip instead (Kunavo bills a flat per-call fee while fal/Runware bill per-second); their Officialcolumn is the maker's first-party API rate at the closest standard tier (open-weight models with no first-party API show “—”), so it's a directional reference, not a SKU-exact match. Same model, different SKU:aggregators (fal, Runware, WaveSpeed, Replicate) sometimes quote a different resolution, duration, quality tier, or a distilled “fast” variant — so a cheaper cell isn't always the same output. Rows where the basis doesn't line up carry an italic note spelling out the difference; trust those over the raw number. License tags are best-effort (open = downloadable weights, proprietary = API-only).
