Disclaimer
This page states what these comparisons do and do not represent. The figures come from public listed prices and the budget and mix you are looking at. Payment, invoices, and accounts belong to the provider you choose, not to this site.
1. We do not provide API access
AIPriceRank does not sell tokens, hold balances, issue API keys, or operate the endpoints that appear in a ranking. Signup, top-up, invoices, refunds, bans, and support happen only with the provider you select. A link from this site only opens that provider's public page.
2. The model name has to match
A comparison uses only a public price for the same model ID shown on the page. A similar name, a channel prefix, or a vendor-level price with no specific model cannot stand in for it. A price for one model is not used to rank another.
3. Purchasing power is an estimate
Purchasing power uses USD input and output prices and the selected mix to estimate how many tokens a fixed budget buys. Homepage boards use $100 and a balanced 1:1 mix. A model page can change the budget and the mix. The formula is the same. The result does not measure latency, availability, or answer quality.
4. A savings percentage is not the amount due
The percentage compares provider tokens with official-price tokens at the same budget and mix. It does not include deposit exchange rates, payment fees, minimum top-ups, bonus credit, or cache prices left out of the weighted price. 1× means the same result as the official price under that method, not a promise that the bill will match. Models without an official price do not show this percentage.
5. Prices move
Listed prices, official baselines, and model availability can change without notice. A snapshot date only describes the public page we used at that time. It is not a quote you can enforce.
6. Third-party services
If you leave this site and use a provider, you are dealing with that company. We cannot restore a balance, map a model name, or reverse a ban. Their terms and privacy policy apply to that relationship.
7. Not advice
Nothing on this site is financial, legal, tax, or purchasing advice. Do not treat a ranking as a recommendation to move production traffic.
8. Check before you pay
Open the provider's current public price page, confirm the model name, run a small test call, and read their terms. If our number and their page disagree, their page wins.
