The client

Compare AI Today

Compare AI Today is built and published by Digital Five, so on this one we were the client. It is a free, informational comparison of AI API pricing for developers and teams choosing a provider.

The brief

AI pricing is hard to compare. Every provider publishes it differently, it is quoted per million tokens, and it moves from month to month, so a table that was right in spring is wrong by summer.

  • Prices split into input and output, per million tokens, in dollars
  • Each provider’s pricing page is laid out its own way
  • Prices and models change often, so anything static goes stale
