Terms of use
Last updated 11 August 2026
Who we are
CostOfToken is operated by Gulf Coast Dev LLC. Using this site or its API means accepting these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.
The data is informational, not authoritative
Prices are read automatically from providers' published pages once a day. Those pages change without notice, parsers break, and some rows come from a reseller catalogue rather than the vendor itself. Figures here may be out of date, incomplete, or wrong.
Confirm any price against the provider before making a purchasing or engineering decision that depends on it. Every model page links to the exact source used and shows when it was last confirmed. See data sources for the full methodology and what is deliberately excluded.
The service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, Gulf Coast Dev LLC is not liable for losses arising from reliance on this data or from any interruption of the service.
Using the data — attribution required
The pricing data is free to use, including commercially and in paid products, under ODC-BY 1.0. The one condition is attribution: anywhere the data is displayed must carry a visible credit linking back to this site.
Pricing data from <a href="https://www.costoftoken.com">CostOfToken</a>Full details, including the machine-readable form returned with every response, are on the API page.
Acceptable use of the API
The API is rate limited to 60 requests per hour per IP. Do not attempt to evade that limit by rotating addresses or distributing requests. If you need a higher allowance, get in touch rather than working around it — that is what the contact below is for.
Do not use the service in a way that degrades it for others, or present the data as your own original research.
Trademarks and third-party content
Model and company names — OpenAI, GPT, Anthropic, Claude, Google, Gemini, xAI, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, Doubao, ERNIE and others — are the trademarks of their respective owners, used here descriptively to identify the products being compared. CostOfToken is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any provider listed.
Links to provider pricing pages are provided for verification. We are not responsible for the content of external sites.
Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. No advertising or cross-site tracking is used, and advertising signals are disabled. Visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before any analytics cookie is set, and declining changes nothing about the data you can see.
Changes
These terms may change as the service does. The date at the top reflects the last substantive revision. Continuing to use the service after a change means accepting it.
