Reference

First-party pricing references

Per-unit rates published by each model's creator on their own first-party API. Rows are source-backed references, not live quotes. Hosted-provider references (Groq, Together) render separately below where available.

Pricing is volatile and may change after retrieval. Treat prices as source-backed references, not live quotes. Prices are shown as source-backed references only. WebmasterID Models does not rank models or billing providers by price.

Hosted pricing references

Where a third-party platform hosts the model and bills at its own rate. These rows do NOT reflect the model creator's pricing. Reference values only — not a comparison or ranking engine.

Caveats

Limitations of this comparison

  • DeepSeek splits input pricing into cache-miss and cache-hit rows; Mistral publishes a single input rate. Like-for-like pricing comparison requires accounting for cache behaviour.
  • Max output tokens and explicit modality channels are not stated on either model's vendor spec card — both render unverified.
  • WebmasterID Models does not declare a winner; readers should compare verified facts against their own workload.
