The 25 cheapest of 34 offers

Offers for GPT-5.1, one row per offer, sorted by blended price.
RankProvider · viaYou buy access through an aggregator: one account and one API that forward your requests to other providers. "Via" names the aggregator; the price is the one it charges you. When "via" says "hosted API", no aggregator is involved: the model belongs to a lab and another provider sells it.Input $/1MOutput $/1MBlended $/1MA single price that mixes input and output: 3 input tokens for 1 output token, per million tokens. It makes offers easy to rank; your real cost depends on your own mix. ContextThe maximum amount of text, counted in tokens, the model can take in and write in a single request. Past this limit, the request is refused or cut.ConditionsWhat a provider says about how it handles your data and who can sign up: training on prompts, processing region, sign-up requirements. Each comes from the provider's published documents; when nothing is published, it stays unknown.SignalsOffer
