DeepSeek
Visit Website ↗Chinese AI lab behind the open-source DeepSeek R1 and V4 models. The chat app is free; the API is billed per million tokens.
Prices may change. These are correct as of 10 Nov 2026. Please confirm on the vendor's own page before you pay.
Unverified: Sources disagree. DeepSeek's platform page and its API docs pricing page show different token rates. The docs page lists peak and off-peak rates (for example $0.15 or $0.30 per million cache-miss input tokens on one model and $0.66 or $1.32 on the other), which do not match the platform page. Check the docs page before budgeting.
Free plan
