pricing-models

Machine-readable per-unit pricing for the APIs developers build on — LLM inference, speech, messaging, maps, and vector databases. One JSON file per provider, a verified_at date on each, updated when the provider changes.

Layout

providers/<slug>.json    one provider — see schema.json
build/all.json           every provider, merged (generated)
build/<category>.json     one file per category (generated)
build/index.json          counts + which files are stale
scripts/import-openrouter.js   refresh the LLM files from OpenRouter's models API
scripts/build.js               regenerate build/

Provider file

{
  "provider": "OpenAI",
  "slug": "openai",
  "category": "llm",
  "pricing_url": "https://openai.com/api/pricing/",
  "currency": "USD",
  "verified_at": "2026-09-10",
  "source": "openrouter",
  "rates": [
    { "item": "gpt-5", "unit": "1M tokens", "input": 1.25, "output": 10.0, "cached_input": 0.125 }
  ]
}

• LLM rates carry input / output (and often cached_input), per 1M tokens.
• speech / messaging / maps / vectors rates carry a single rate, per the stated unit (minute, 1K emails, message, 1K requests, GB/mo, …).
• source: openrouter (LLM rates cross-checked against OpenRouter's live API), manual (a person read the pricing page), or parser:<name>.
• verified_at: the day the numbers were last confirmed. Consumers should treat anything older than ~45 days as needing a re-check.

Updating

node scripts/import-openrouter.js   # refresh LLM providers from OpenRouter
node scripts/build.js               # rebuild build/

Files with "source": "manual" are never overwritten by the importer — edit them by hand against pricing_url and bump verified_at.

Use it

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UNAUTH-ACCESS/pricing-models/main/build/llm.json \
  | jq '.providers[] | {provider, models: [.rates[] | {(.item): .input}]}'

import json, urllib.request
d = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UNAUTH-ACCESS/pricing-models/main/build/all.json"))
for p in d["providers"]:
    print(p["provider"], len(p["rates"]), "rates", "· verified", p["verified_at"])

Corrections

Open an issue or a PR with the provider, the wrong figure, the right figure, and the pricing-page URL you read it from.
