Common questions about LLM pricing
- What is the cheapest LLM API?
- As of 2026-11-12, the cheapest of 295 token-priced LLM APIs in the OptimToken catalogue, leaving out 6 outlier listings, is Mistral Nemo (Mistral), quoted at $0.029 per 1M input tokens and $0.03 per 1M output tokens, which is $0.03 on the blended price (30% input, 70% output). As of 2026-11-12, the cheapest model in each price tier, ranked on the blended price and quoted per 1M tokens, is: Premium, GPT-5.4 (OpenAI) at $2.50 input and $15.00 output; Mid-range, Seed-2.0-Lite (ByteDance) at $0.25 input and $2.00 output, level with 2 other models; Budget, Mistral Nemo (Mistral) at $0.029 input and $0.03 output. Each figure is the price OptimToken quotes for the model, which is one host's rate: another host can charge more or less for the same model. An outlier listing is one host's rate with input near free and output at or above the going rate, not what most hosts charge, so a cost built on it can be far from what you would pay. Such quoted prices are left out of these figures.
- How much do LLM APIs cost per million tokens?
- As of 2026-11-12, the median price across 295 token-priced LLM APIs in the OptimToken catalogue, leaving out 6 outlier listings, is $0.40 per 1M input tokens and $1.60 per 1M output tokens, and the median blended price (30% input, 70% output) is $1.36. As of 2026-11-12, leaving out 6 outlier listings, quoted prices run from $0.015 to $30.00 per 1M input tokens and from $0.03 to $180.00 per 1M output tokens. As of 2026-11-12, the median price per 1M tokens by price tier is: Premium, $5.00 input and $25.00 output (29 models); Mid-range, $1.25 input and $4.41 output (110 models); Budget, $0.15 input and $0.54 output (156 models). An outlier listing is one host's rate with input near free and output at or above the going rate, not what most hosts charge, so a cost built on it can be far from what you would pay. Such quoted prices are left out of these figures.
- How do I estimate my monthly LLM API cost?
- Use Business view and pick one of the workload presets. OptimToken converts input and output token rates into unit cost per request and monthly budget estimates for 10K, 100K, and 1M requests.
- What qualifies as FinOps Friendly?
- A model qualifies only when it meets all four rules: Arena ELO in the top 40% of ranked models, Efficiency score in the top 30% (a tie on the cut-off score included), a list price among the cheapest 70% of ranked models that is not an outlier listing (one reseller's near-free input against a dear output), and a stable release: no preview or beta label, no Premium-tier model younger than 3 months, and no retirement announced by the model maker.
These are list prices: real cost also depends on caching, batching, negotiated discounts, marketplace agreements, and existing contracts. Get a FinOps review from OptimNow.
