8 of 8 models, sorted by your monthly cost — loading the complete list…
Each row: input / output price, then your monthly cost. Token prices per 1M tokens. Tick up to 4 models to compare.
“Your cost” applies the cache-read price only where the source lists one; a model with no price data shows a dash and is never ranked as cheapest.
Collected from the OpenRouter models API (466 entries). 99 models are cross-checked against provider list prices in the LiteLLM price table.
