Cheapest model / job

Design and images: the cheapest models

Create images, designs, decks and sites.

How this page ranks

  • Ranked by blended price per million tokens: three parts input to one part output, at the OpenRouter list price for the model. Lowest first. Ties go to the lower input price.
  • A model counts for this job when its taxonomy v2 classification names design and images, or its old category maps to it.
  • Each model must list image 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 price in the last 30 days, a price in another unit, a $0 listing or unknown inputs and outputs is listed apart, with the reason.

Market data as of 10 Nov 2026. Prices: OpenRouter models API (official).
