Prices per 1M tokens (USD)
Prices as listed on each platform's public page or public API on the day shown. Some models are cheaper on LanoX for output but more expensive for input; both are shown.
† Gap above 200%. OpenRouter lists an unusually low price for this model (it can depend on which provider OpenRouter routes to), so read this gap with care.

Method and sources
- Once a day we read the public LanoX model pricing page and the public OpenRouter models API. No login, no discounts, no enterprise prices.
- A model is compared only when both platforms list the same model; we do not match look-alike models.
- OpenRouter prices are the base prompt and completion prices from its API. Time-of-day and long-context surcharges are not included.
- Where LanoX shows tiered or time-based prices, we use the first tier or the peak price, which is the conservative choice.
- Disclosure: LanoX is one of the two platforms compared. Raw daily snapshots are kept so any figure can be checked.
