llm-prices

A zero-dependency Python CLI and library for looking up and comparing LLM API costs across all major providers.

$ llm-prices list --provider OpenAI --sort input
$ llm-prices calc gpt-4o --in 10000 --out 2000
$ llm-prices compare gpt-4o claude-sonnet-4-6 gemini-2.5-pro --in 5000 --out 1000
$ llm-prices top 5 --in 5000 --out 1000          # 5 cheapest for your workload
$ llm-prices budget 1.00 --in 1000 --out 500
$ llm-prices list --markdown   # GitHub-flavored table — paste into your README
$ llm-prices list --csv        # CSV export for spreadsheets

Covers 138 models across 22 providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, Cohere, DeepSeek, xAI, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Perplexity, Cerebras, SambaNova, Amazon Bedrock, AI21 Labs, DeepInfra, Lambda AI, Novita AI, Nebius AI, Moonshot AI (Kimi K2), Hyperbolic, Crusoe. No API key required — pricing data is baked in and updated with each release.

Also available as an MCP server — use llm-prices tools directly from Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants.

Calculate cost for a specific call

# 10,000 input tokens, 2,000 output tokens on GPT-4o
llm-prices calc gpt-4o --in 10000 --out 2000

# Model  : gpt-4o (OpenAI)
# Tokens : 10,000 in / 2,000 out
# Rate   : $2.5/Mtok in, $10.0/Mtok out
# Cost   : $0.0250 in + $0.0200 out = $0.0450 total

JSON output for scripting:

llm-prices calc claude-sonnet-4-6 --in 5000 --out 1000 --json

Filter to a single provider, or get a Markdown table:

llm-prices top 3 --provider Anthropic --in 2000 --out 800
llm-prices top 10 --in 5000 --out 1000 --markdown

How many calls fit in a budget?

# How many calls at 1k in / 500 out tokens fit in $1.00?
llm-prices budget 1.00 --in 1000 --out 500

# Filter to just Anthropic models
llm-prices budget 0.10 --provider Anthropic --in 5000 --out 2000

Use as a Python library

from llm_prices import calculate_cost, MODELS

result = calculate_cost("gpt-4o", input_tokens=10_000, output_tokens=2_000)
print(f"Total: ${result['total_cost_usd']:.4f}")

for name, info in MODELS.items():
    if info["provider"] == "Anthropic":
        print(name, info["input_per_mtok"], info["output_per_mtok"])
