Official Model Pricing Methods

This page explains upstream vendor pricing rules only. It does not describe Crazyrouter resale prices.
  • Upstream pricing: the vendor’s own input, output, cached input, tool call, search grounding, prompt caching, and similar billing rules
  • Crazyrouter pricing: Crazyrouter’s own sell price, multiplier, discount, channel variation, and settlement logic
This page reflects vendor documentation checked on 2026-04-27. Vendors can change prices, preview-model policies, long-context rules, search-tool fees, and caching behavior. Recheck the official source links before relying on any number in production.

Official Example Price Table

The examples below intentionally use the most common pricing tier that is easiest to map to budget planning:
  • Anthropic: standard API price, excluding Fast mode, US-only inference, and Batch discounts
  • OpenAI: Standard price, excluding Batch, Priority, and Regional Processing surcharges
  • Gemini: Standard price, usually the text/image/video default path, and for Gemini 3* models the <= 200K prompt tier
  • xAI: if the public static docs do not list a standalone price for the exact routed name, this page says so explicitly
  • Z.AI: the official Text Models price
  • MiniMax: the main table uses Pay as You Go; subscription-style pricing is listed separately under Token Plan
Unless otherwise noted, prices below are USD / 1M tokens.

Anthropic Example Prices

OpenAI Example Prices

Gemini Example Prices

xAI Example Prices

What the current xAI static docs reliably expose is the token-category structure, tool-invocation pricing, Batch 50% off, and the instruction to check model details or the console for model-specific token prices. Since grok-4.1 and grok-4.1-thinking are not individually priced in the static public docs, this page does not assign another SKU’s numbers to them.

Token Plan

Anthropic

Anthropic pricing is not just a simple input / output split. The official structure breaks out:
  • Base Input Tokens
  • 5m Cache Writes
  • 1h Cache Writes
  • Cache Hits & Refreshes
  • Output Tokens
Two common rules also matter:
  • Batch API usually bills input and output at roughly 50% off
  • Prompt caching follows the public multiplier rules: 5-minute cache write = 1.25x input, 1-hour cache write = 2x input, and cache hit = 0.1x input

OpenAI

OpenAI pricing is the most uniform of the set. The public structure is usually:
  • Input
  • Cached input
  • Output
Common extra rules:
  • Responses API itself does not add a separate model fee; billing still follows the selected model’s token rates
  • Web search, containers/code execution, Computer Use, and other tools are billed separately
  • Batch API usually discounts token pricing by about 50%

Google Gemini

Gemini pricing differs the most from OpenAI and Anthropic because Google often publishes multiple processing modes:
  • Standard
  • Batch
  • Flex
  • Priority
And it often breaks out:
  • Input
  • Output (including thinking tokens)
  • Context caching price
  • Context caching storage
  • Grounding with Google Search
  • Grounding with Google Maps

xAI Grok

xAI pricing is best understood as token categories plus tool billing, rather than a separate pricing table for every visible route name:
  • Prompt tokens
  • Cached prompt tokens
  • Completion tokens
  • Reasoning tokens
xAI also explicitly states:
  • Reasoning tokens are billed at the completion token price
  • Web Search, X Search, Code Execution, and similar server-side tools are billed separately per 1,000 calls
  • Batch API usually applies a 50% token discount

Z.AI / GLM

Z.AI GLM-5 pricing is close to the OpenAI pattern, but it adds cache storage as its own line item:
  • Input
  • Cached Input
  • Cached Input Storage
  • Output
Built-in tools such as Web Search are priced separately per use. Official links:

MiniMax

MiniMax is the one vendor here where two official commercial modes matter:
  • Pay as You Go
  • Token Plan
That means:
  • Pay as You Go is the normal token-priced API path
  • Token Plan is subscription-style and, for M2.7, often described as a requests per 5-hour rolling window capacity product rather than plain token billing

Summary

If you only need a quick mental model of how each vendor bills, the shortest version is:
  • Anthropic: base input + cache write/read + output
  • OpenAI: input + cached input + output, with tools billed separately
  • Gemini: multiple processing modes + input/output + caching + search/maps grounding
  • xAI: prompt/cached/completion/reasoning, with server-side tools billed separately
  • Z.AI: input + cached input + cached storage + output
  • MiniMax: token pay-as-you-go or subscription-style capacity plan
