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.

Daily index
Week over week (2026-11-13 vs 2026-11-06): median output gap -2.0 pts, median input gap 0.0 pts. A positive change means LanoX's discount versus OpenRouter narrowed.
One row per day since the first collection. Days with no price snapshot are marked and left blank; we do not fill them in. On 2026-10-19 one LanoX row (gemini-3-flash, 0.0084/0.0084) was a suspected cache error and is excluded; that model is not in the comparison set, so the day's index is unaffected.

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.
- LanoX prices come from the default group on its model pricing page. For tiered prices we use the first (base) tier; long-context and other tiers are excluded. For time-based prices we use the peak price.
- Disclosure: LanoX is one of the two platforms compared. Raw daily snapshots are kept so any figure can be checked.
- Week-over-week change = median gap on the latest day minus median gap on the same weekday 7 days earlier, in percentage points. It is computed by script from the daily price snapshots and shown only when both days have data.
