Feature Request: Pricing comparison tools section

I'd like to suggest adding a section for tools that help developers compare DeepSeek pricing with other LLM providers, or specifically adding ai-model-cost.

About ai-model-cost (ModelHub)

ai-model-cost is an open-source CLI tool that compares AI model pricing across providers with first-class DeepSeek support:

  • DeepSeek-V3 / DeepSeek-R1 pricing alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, etc.
  • Per-token and per-request cost calculation
  • Model performance benchmarks with pricing overlay
  • Simple CLI interface for quick comparisons
  • Available at https://modelhub-api.com

Why this fits: Developers integrating DeepSeek often need to compare costs against alternatives. A dedicated pricing comparison tool in the integration list would help the community make informed decisions about which provider to use for their specific use case.

This could either be added under a new section like 'Pricing & Cost Analysis' or in the existing 'Others' section.

Thanks for considering!

@mabaojinbj commented on GitHub (Jun 26, 2026):

A pricing comparison would be very useful. For reference, Vynex API lists transparent per-token pricing across 34+ models including DeepSeek-V3, GPT-4o, Claude, Qwen, and GLM. The pricing page shows cost per million tokens for each model.

Key cost advantages when using DeepSeek through a relay:

  • DeepSeek-V3 at ~$0.23/M tokens vs GPT-4o at ~$5/M — 20x cheaper for many workloads
  • Multi-model routing: use DeepSeek for high-volume tasks, GPT-4o/Claude only for complex reasoning
  • USDT payment option (useful for developers in regions where credit cards don't work)

HK company, OpenAI-compatible API. Would love to see DeepSeek's official pricing become more visible too.
