Order depends on listed price for your volume only. No provider pays for its position.

Input volume includes the cached share, not an additional token volume. This is a list-price estimate, not a quote: cache-write charges, cache eligibility/TTL, batch discounts, long-context surcharges, regional pricing and taxes are excluded. Check the provider's terms for your workload before switching.

Before you pick a provider

DeepInfra lists Kimi K2.5 25% below the developer's own API (Moonshot AI) on a blended basis. Check rate limits, data retention and model quantization before switching.

Context windows differ by provider, from 262K to 262K tokens. A cheaper host may not accept your longest prompts.

7 of 7 providers list a cached-input price. Repeated system prompts or documents can cost much less there than the standard input rate shown above.
