How we verify
- Pull — provider pricing pages and /models endpoints, daily at 06:00 UTC.
- Probe — fixed 1k-in/256-out prompt per provider; billed tokens and latency recorded.
- Diff — changes beyond ±1% raise a price move; every row carries its own last-verified date, never a site-wide stamp.
- Disclose — affiliate Go links are labeled and never reorder this table; methodology and raw probes are published.
Freshness policy: rows older than 14 days carry the amber stale flag until re-probed. Stale data beats fresh guesses.
