## Same plan, side by side

Each row is a subscription that includes both models at the same fee. Real cost = monthly fee ÷ the recorded monthly allowance. Each model's allowance assumes using the plan for that model; the columns cannot be added together. Click a price for its calculation and sources. Ratios use only matching normalized workloads.

## Leaderboards head to head

Each model's highest archived configuration on each shared leaderboard snapshot, ranked among the models archived in this dataset. Harness, reasoning effort and service mode can differ; self-reported and estimated results are marked. These reference configurations are not measurements of the subscriptions above. Overlapping leaderboards do not form an overall ability rating.

## How to read this comparison

Price ratios compare recorded USD/MTok under the same known workload. Raw measured totals, different workloads and unmetered access remain visible but are excluded from the lower-cost counts. Recorded allowances assume using the quota; your effective cost depends on utilization, cache mix, output mix and plan limits. Qualitative confidence is not an error bar.

-   Standard workload: 97% cache reads / 2.5% input / 0.5% output
-   Not workload-normalized: sample lacks a token breakdown (or is an official absolute token table); raw tokens used as-is
