How it works
No prices typed in by hand, and none overwritten.
- 01
Read every public price
A collector reads the pricing APIs and pages of six platforms, daily by default, and keeps every response byte for byte.
- 02
Put them in one unit
Credits become US dollars at the platform’s own rate. Each price is tagged by task, resolution, duration and audio, so like is compared with like.
- 03
Compare, and keep the history
The cheapest exact price wins; approximate matches are marked and never ranked. When a price changes, the old one is closed, not erased.
- No referral links, no paid placement
- Every price links to the response it came from
- Full price history for every model
- Read-only API and MCP, free
For developers and agents
Every page reads as Markdown, every price is in a JSON API, and an MCP server lets Claude or Cursor ask the ledger directly.
- “Copy for agent” on every model, family and task page
- Add .md to any URL, or send Accept: text/markdown
- JSON API: search, cheapest, one model — no key
- /llms.txt indexes the whole site for language models

AI API pricing FAQ
The full rules for every number are written down. Read the methodology →
Which platform is cheapest for AI video, image or LLM APIs?
It depends on the model and the job; no platform is cheapest for everything. Each model family and task page shows the cheapest exact price on every platform, and the home page lists today’s widest gaps for the same model and job.
Where do the prices come from?
From each platform’s own public pricing API or pricing page, read automatically, daily by default. Every response is archived, and each model page links to the response its prices came from.
How are credits converted to US dollars?
At the rate the platform publishes for a new, ordinary account, for example 1 kie.ai credit ≈ $0.005. Top-up bonuses and membership tiers are not applied to list prices.
What do “exact” and “approximate” mean?
Exact means the endpoint does exactly the job priced, such as an 8-second 720p clip with audio. Approximate means it can do the job with a stated difference, such as only making 5-second clips. Only exact prices are ranked and shown in green.
Does this site earn from the platforms it lists?
No. There are no referral links, partnerships or paid placements. Platform links go to the platform’s own pages.
Can my agent or code read these prices?
Yes, for free and without a key: add .md to any page, use the JSON API at /api/v1, or connect the MCP server at /mcp. The agent guide has examples.
