SourceVane · Practical AI
AI API pricing comparison
Compare selected first-party text API list prices using the same per-million-token unit, with conditions, verification dates and official sources.
Direct answer
The decision in brief
Compare the exact provider route, model identifier and price condition in the same unit. Then apply those rates to billed input, output, retries and accepted results for your workload. A lower token price is not evidence of better quality or a lower cost per useful result.

USD per 1 million tokens. Sort mentally only within matching conditions; provider discounts, taxes and tools are excluded.

Observed price changes
Changes require two source-backed observations for the same model and billing conditions. Observation dates show when SourceVane saw a value; they are not inferred effective dates.
No comparable price change is established in the available observations. Missing history does not mean that prices were unchanged.
Use a price in a workload
The calculator can prefill standard text rates from this same catalogue. It keeps success rate and retries visible because price per token alone does not decide the useful cost.

Evidence and next steps
Reduce AI API costs without losing useful results
Measure workload, retries and accepted outputs before comparing models, batching or reusable prompts.
Prompt-cache break-even: how many prefix reuses cover the write cost?
A source-backed calculation compares one cache write plus cache reads with ordinary input processing for a fixed 10,000-token prefix.
AI voice API pricing comparison
Compare selected voice-session and transcription prices while keeping unlike billing units and input/output components separate.
AI model comparison
Compare model identifiers, text token prices and the specification fields SourceVane could verify without turning missing values into claims.
