Whizi
Providers publish price per million tokens, which is not comparable across models. This index prices one standard answer, 1,000 input tokens plus 500 output tokens, across 100 models from 29 providers. Last updated August 20, 2026.
One standard answer is 1,000 input tokens, roughly a prompt with a couple of paragraphs of context, and 500 output tokens, roughly a substantial reply. Every model is priced on that identical workload: (input rate x 1,000 + output rate x 500) divided by 1,000,000.
Change the mix and the ordering shifts, which is the point: a model with cheap input and dear output wins on short prompts and loses on long replies. The formula is published so you can recompute it against your own mix.
100 models, cheapest first. Free to reuse with attribution to the Whizi AI Model Cost Index and a link to this page. Raw data: JSON and CSV.

Because nobody buys a million tokens. Providers quote input and output separately at different rates, so two models can look close per million and differ by a lot on the same real task. Pricing one fixed workload makes the numbers comparable.
Value depends on the task. The useful reading is that the middle of this table is within a few hundredths of a cent per answer, so for most everyday work the price difference between good models is negligible and the choice should be made on output quality.
Prices are refreshed from the provider catalogue and the page carries the fetch date, currently August 20, 2026. Rates in this market move often, so check the date before quoting a figure.
Whizi charges a message against a monthly allowance, and expensive models cost more credits than cheap ones, from 1x up to 20x. The column shows that multiplier so you can see how a provider list rate maps onto a flat subscription.
A dataset is only reused as often as it is easy to credit, so here is the line to copy:
