1. Channel differences
- The same model (e.g. GPT, Claude) may use different channels per group.
- Different channels mean different costs and therefore different prices.
2. Price transparency
- API prices vary in the market largely because channels and cost structures differ.
- We use clear, listed pricing so rules are easy to find.
3. Your choice
- Pick a group by performance, stability, and price.
- More flexibility for different budgets and use cases.
“Official rate” multiplier
To relate our prices to vendor list prices, we use an official rate multiplier:- Billing on this site is in CNY.
- Model pages show vendor list price (converted to CNY).
- Your charge = list price × group rate.
Examples
-
Rate = 1
Charged at list price (same basis as the vendor). -
Rate = 0.4
Charged at 40% of list price (i.e. 60% off list).
