Pricing
US dollars per 1 million tokens. A typical request (1,000 input + 500 output tokens) costs $0.002 at standard rates.
| Rate | Input | Cached input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $0.58 | $0.018 | $1.74 |
Sources list different standard prices. OpenRouter lists a flat $0.58 / $1.74 per 1M tokens. DeepSeek's own API docs instead use peak/off-peak pricing that varies by time of day (UTC): off-peak $0.66 / $1.98, peak (01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC) $1.32 / $3.96. We use the OpenRouter flat rate until the two align.

Where these numbers come from
Every value is an observation with a source and a date. independent is a third-party catalog, vendor is the model maker's own page, derived is our calculation.
