How this service works
Cheapest-model query: returns the lowest-cost AI models matching your constraints — min_context (tokens), vision/function_calling/reasoning (true), max_input_per_mtok (USD cap), limit (default 5). Add expected_input/expected_output token counts to rank by blended USD per request instead of input price; exclude_preview=true skips pre-release models. Answers 'what is the cheapest model that can do X?' across 2,000+ models and 70+ providers.
Output
A ranked list of up to 25 AI models (default 5) sorted by price ascending, each with model ID, provider name, input/output token pricing, and capability flags — giving agents the cheapest option that satisfies every requested constraint
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What are the 5 cheapest AI models that support both vision and function calling, have at least a 64000 token context window, and cost no more than $1.00 per million input tokens?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://modelprices.xyz/llm/cheapest?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to find the cheapest AI model satisfying specific capability requirements — especially when you have hard constraints like vision support, function calling, reasoning, or a minimum context window. Prefer this over the general price leaderboard when cost optimization is the primary goal and you need to filter by capability. Best for automated agent decisions about which LLM to route tasks to based on budget and feature requirements.
Side effects
- No models match all constraints — returns empty list or reduced set
- max_input_per_mtok too low — filters out all models, returning empty results
- min_context too large — no models with that context window exist in dataset
- Invalid parameter types (e.g. non-integer for min_context) — 400 bad request
- Payment not processed — 402 response requiring x402 payment before retry
- Stale pricing data — model prices may lag real-time provider updates
