Best model / capability
Low price: the best models
Models tagged as low price per token.
How this page ranks
- Ranked by the Intelligence Index (Artificial Analysis, through OpenRouter), highest first. Ties go to the lower blended price.
- Low price is a capability, not a job: these are models tagged cheap on their record.
- Each model must list text output on OpenRouter or on its own record.
- Prices and scores come from the market tables only, each with the day it is for. The price on a model's own record is not used.
- Missing data never ranks. A model with no confirmed score in the last 30 days or unknown inputs and outputs is listed apart, with the reason. Price is shown when one is confirmed, and is not needed to rank.
Market data as of 10 Nov 2026. Prices: OpenRouter models API (official). Score: Artificial Analysis, through OpenRouter (third-party).
Ranked: 153 of 589 models
