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.
