DeepSeek vs Qwen vs GLM API pricing

A few commonly used models from each family, with their per-token prices on XHuoAPI, monthly costs at fixed volumes, and which one is cheapest for what. All three are called with the same API key and endpoint; switching means changing the model field.

Per-token prices

Prices below are for the Standard tier (the default for new accounts), in USD per million tokens. "Lowest tier" is the cheapest tier the model is available in; Saver and Spot cost less and are less reliable. The pricing page explains the difference.
