AI Model Pricing Guide 2026: What Every Model Costs on Crazyrouter (and How Much You Save)#

AI Model Pricing Comparison Guide 2026

AI model pricing changes fast. New models launch every month, providers adjust rates, and keeping track of what you're actually paying per token across multiple providers is a full-time job.

This guide covers 18 of the most popular AI models available through Crazyrouter — with official provider pricing, Crazyrouter's discounted rates, and what it all means for your monthly bill.

Last updated: April 27, 2026

Important: AI model pricing is subject to change. Providers may adjust rates at any time. Always check the latest pricing on the official provider pages and Crazyrouter's pricing page before making decisions. The prices listed here are accurate as of the publication date.


How Crazyrouter Pricing Works#

Crazyrouter offers unified API access to 300+ models from all major providers. Instead of managing separate accounts with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and others, you use one API key and one balance.

The key benefit: Crazyrouter passes through models at a discount ranging from 55% to 100% of official pricing (i.e., 45% off down to full price), depending on the model. Most flagship models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI are available at 55% of official price — that's a 45% discount.


Complete Pricing Table: 18 Models Compared#

Here's the full breakdown. All prices are in USD per 1 million tokens.

AI model pricing tiers — budget, mid-tier, and premium

Premium Tier ($5+ input)#

grok-4.1-thinkingxAI$5.00$25.00$2.75$13.7555%

These are the heaviest hitters — deep reasoning, complex analysis, and extended thinking models. At official rates, a million output tokens from Claude Opus 4.7 costs 25.ThroughCrazyrouter,thatdropsto25. Through Crazyrouter, that drops to 13.75.

Mid-Tier (1–1–3 input)#

gpt-5.1-codex-maxOpenAI$1.25$10.00$0.6875$5.5055%

This is where most production workloads live. Claude Sonnet 4.6 and GPT-5.4 are the workhorses for coding, chat, and general-purpose tasks. The Gemini 3 Pro models offer strong value at 2.00input—andevenbetterthroughCrazyrouterat2.00 input — and even better through Crazyrouter at 1.10.

Budget Tier (Under $1 input)#

gpt-5-nanoOpenAI$0.05$0.40$0.0275$0.2255%

Budget models are perfect for high-volume tasks: classification, extraction, routing, summarization. GPT-5-nano through Crazyrouter costs just $0.0275 per million input tokens — that's essentially free for most use cases. MiniMax M2.7 and GLM-5 are passed through at full official pricing but are already extremely affordable.

gpt-5-mini$4.50$2.48$61

How to Choose the Right Model#

Maximize quality: Claude Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.4 — both are frontier-class. Opus 4.7 edges ahead on reasoning; GPT-5.4 is strong on coding.

Balance quality and cost: Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5, or Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. All deliver excellent results at 1–3inputpricing.ThroughCrazyrouter,Gemini3.1Proisthebestvalueat1–3 input pricing. Through Crazyrouter, Gemini 3.1 Pro is the best value at 1.10/M input.

Minimize cost: GPT-5-nano (0.0275/MinputonCrazyrouter)orGemini2.5FlashLite(0.0275/M input on Crazyrouter) or Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite (0.055/M). For slightly better quality at still-low prices, GPT-5-mini at $0.1375/M is hard to beat.

Need massive context: Gemini models offer 1M token context windows. GPT-5 family supports 400K. Both are available through Crazyrouter with the same discounts.


Getting Started#

  1. Sign up at crazyrouter.com
  2. Get your API key from the console
  3. Use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint — no code changes needed if you're already using the OpenAI SDK:

Price Disclaimer#

Prices listed in this article are accurate as of April 27, 2026. AI model pricing is volatile — providers frequently adjust rates as new models launch and competition evolves. Before committing to a model for production use:

  • Check the official provider pricing page for the latest rates
  • Review Crazyrouter's pricing page for current discounts
  • Monitor your actual usage in the Crazyrouter console dashboard
  • Consider using multiple models and routing based on task complexity to optimize costs

Crazyrouter's discount rates (55%–100% of official pricing) may also change as provider agreements evolve. The console always shows your real-time per-request cost.


Summary#

Across these 18 models, Crazyrouter saves you 10–45% on most flagship models compared to going direct. The biggest savings come from premium models like Claude Opus (25→25 → 13.75 per M output tokens) and reasoning models like Grok 4.1 Thinking.

For budget models like MiniMax M2.7 and GLM-5, Crazyrouter passes through at official pricing — but the value is in unified access. One API key, one balance, one integration for all 18 models (and 300+ more).

The real power move: use Crazyrouter's model routing to automatically pick the cheapest model that meets your quality threshold for each request. That's where the savings compound.
