Live AI credit prices
Same models. Same tokens. Less money.
Claude, GPT, Gemini and the rest cost the same per token wherever you call them. What changes is what you pay for the credits. We pull live quotes and published fees so you can see where a dollar of usage is cheapest today.

Discount books (smaaart, Orbio) sell credits below face value, cheapest slice first. The bigger the purchase, the deeper into the book you go, so the discount shrinks. Try several amounts.
OpenRouter passes provider prices through with no markup and charges a fee when you buy credits. Direct means prepaid credits from the lab itself, at face value.
Quotes refresh every 5 minutes. Taxes are not included anywhere. A source that doesn't answer shows as unavailable, never as a guessed number.
