API Pricing

Per-million-token prices at a glance. DeepSeek shows official RMB list prices (peak/off-peak tiers); all others are USD list-price snapshots (2026-10).

Three Billing Terms to Know First

  • Input / output billed separately: Output prices are typically 3–5x input prices; context cache hits can greatly reduce input costs.
  • Peak / off-peak pricing: Vendors like DeepSeek price peak and idle hours differently; off-peak batch processing can save 50%.
  • Per-unit billing: Images are billed per image, video per clip/second, and speech per character—not per token.
