Watching: not yet priced

Searching for an API price that doesn’t exist is frustrating — this list is the receipt. “No per-token price found” means we looked for a per-token API rate — the maker’s own rate card and the hosted catalogs we read — and found none as of the date shown. “Sold only by third-party hosts” means something different and we label it separately rather than blurring the two: every seller we could find is a host setting its own rate, so any price you find for the model is that host’s and not the maker’s. Free demo endpoints, per-seat app subscriptions and per-minute rates don’t count — the tracker only publishes prices someone actually sets per token. The full inclusion rule →

What this list leaves out. 151 models have been ruled on and considered for this page; 47 of them are shown. Each of the rest is withheld for a stated reason, and we keep the reasons apart rather than merging them into one number — they are not the same claim. We withhold 68 for which a per-token price does demonstrably exist, where the row is held on something else (a missing maker rate card, an unresolved unit, a provenance question); 14 that aren’t a single vendor-sold model (routers, cloaked pre-release listings, open-weight repos, and $0 demo twins of a model listed elsewhere); 2 where what we have is genuinely unknown rather than none, and “we couldn’t find a seller” is not the same statement as “there is no seller”; 3 the maker has since shut down; and 17 whose last check has aged past our 45-day re-verification budget. Nothing is withheld for want of a ruling. We publish this breakdown because “withhold the row” is our fix for most problems with this page, and a list that quietly shrinks would look identical to one that is right.

Every model below sat on this watch list until a real per-token rate appeared — then it moved to the live tracker. That is the whole point of watching.

Our inclusion rule is deliberately narrow: a model joins the tracker when someone publishes a qualifying per-token price for it — the maker on its own rate card, or a host on theirs — not when a benchmark score lands or weights drop on HuggingFace. A missing model is a statement about whether anyone sells it yet, never a verdict on its quality. Some releases never get a per-token rate at all; this page is where those live, with dated evidence that we keep checking.
