Read the estimate properly.

Text API usage only. Excludes tax, caching, batch discounts, tools, search, hosting, retries and regional premiums. Consumer subscriptions and business seats are different products. This is an estimate, not a quote or quality ranking.

Each model uses the same token assumptions for comparison. Measure a sample of your own workload with the provider’s tokenizer before budgeting.
