The AI price war, in charts.
Seven models, one dashboard: per-token rate bars, a monthly bill explorer with sliders, and cost-vs-volume curves — built from our price table, verified against official pricing pages on October 3, 2026. Drag, compare, and see exactly where each model wins.
Honest notes
- Token price is not task price: a model that needs fewer tokens per answer can cost less overall even with a higher per-token rate. Test with your own workload, not just these charts.
- Charts ignore prompt-caching discounts, batch rates, and tool-call charges — all of which move the real invoice, especially for agentic workloads.
- API prices change often. We re-check the underlying table against official pricing pages; always confirm the live rate before signing a budget to it.

How it works
Four views of the same verified price table
This dashboard answers the question the price table alone can’t: what do these rates actually feel like? It reads the same verified snapshot that powers the token price comparison tool — seven models, checked against official pricing pages on October 3, 2026 — and renders it as charts you can play with.
The rate chart puts input and output prices side by side on a log scale, which is the only way to see Jev’s $0.042 and a $10 output rate in one view. The bill explorer lets you drag monthly input and output volumes (or jump in with a workload preset) and re-sorts every bar cheapest-first, naming the winner and its savings versus the priciest option. The volume curves plot each model’s monthly bill as input tokens scale from 100K to 100M, so you can see which models stay cheap at scale and which pull away.
Under the charts, the price table shows the raw numbers behind everything — per-million-token rates, context windows, pricing caveats, and a link to each provider’s official pricing page, since those pages are the only authoritative numbers and API rates move often.
What each part does
- Rate bars (log scale) — grouped input/output $/MTok bars for all seven models; the log axis keeps sub-dollar prices visible next to double-digit ones.
- Bill explorer sliders — monthly input (0–50M) and output (0–20M) sliders; bars re-sort cheapest-first on every move, with a summary naming the cheapest model and its savings.
- Workload presets — one-tap mixes: chat-like 2:1, balanced 1:1, and output-heavy 1:4 input-to-output ratios.
- Volume curves — log-log lines of monthly cost as input volume scales (output fixed at half of input), revealing which models stay cheap at scale.
- Price table — the raw verified figures, context windows, caveats, and official pricing links behind every chart.
