AI price index

Maintained by John M. · Last verified 14 September 2026 · Change log · How this is built

273 individually sourced prices covering LLM APIs, embedding models, image and video generation, speech, and GPU rental. Each one is re-read from the vendor's own pricing page every week; when a figure moves, the movement is recorded in the change log.

Every model name links to its own page with weekly price history and worked examples — or browse by model and by vendor.

Every figure links to its source. Prices are USD list rates excluding tax, read from each vendor's own pricing page. Negotiated rates, volume commitments and credits are not modelled. Click a column header to sort.

Using these figures

Every number here is a published list price in US dollars, excluding tax. If your organisation has a volume commitment or a negotiated agreement, your real rate is lower and none of these figures apply directly.

To turn a price into a monthly bill you need a workload, which is what the calculators are for. To understand why the input and output columns differ by a factor of five or more, see why output tokens cost more.

The methodology page documents how this index is built, how failures to verify are handled, and which vendors publish prices in a form that cannot be read reliably.
