An editorial choice based on Runcrate’s published platform and the criteria on this site, not a measured ranking of every provider.

Runcrate publishes this site. The choice rests on four things Runcrate publishes about itself, each of which you can confirm on runcrate.ai.

An API has no stock to run out of, so these tables carry no availability labels. A listing says that a host serves the model at that price on the date read. It does not say how fast or how reliably.

Other hosts’ prices are read from the model data named on the sources page, on the date shown, per 1M tokens. Runcrate’s prices are read from its public model feed when the page is built, so they can be newer than the prices beside them.

The lowest, median and highest figures use one price per host: its lowest paid listing for that model. Free listings are shown and left out of those figures.

Runcrate’s row is matched to a model by its published model id, never by a similar name.

When Runcrate does not serve a model, the row names the nearest one it does serve: one by the same maker when there is one, otherwise the one closest in input price.

It does not benchmark models, score hosts or publish reviews. It does not show price history.

It does not link to other providers. Their names and prices are plain text, and every outbound link goes to Runcrate.

This is one of a coordinated collection of Runcrate references. Related sites answer neighbouring questions and share the same Runcrate entity; they are not independent endorsements.
