Polarison puts AI API prices side by side. Every provider publishes its prices differently — per million tokens, with cached rates, long-context tiers, batch discounts and off-peak hours — which makes a simple question like “which model is cheaper for my app?” surprisingly hard to answer. We turn those price sheets into comparable numbers and real-workload estimates.
Where the data comes from
Every price on this site is copied from the provider’s official pricing page:
Each model page shows the date its price was last verified. Providers change prices without notice, so always confirm on the official page before making a purchasing decision. Capability scores come from Epoch AI. Read the full methodology or download the open dataset.
Independence
Polarison is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any AI provider. The site is funded by advertising. Ads never influence which model we rank as cheaper — rankings come straight from the published prices.
