API Pricing Comparator
Compare pricing across model providers, gateways, or API platforms and turn the results into structured content.
When to use
- - writing pricing comparison blog posts
- building alternative/comparison landing pages
- helping users choose between model vendors
- turning pricing tables into narrative insights
Recommended runtime
This skill works with OpenAI-compatible runtimes and has been tested on Crazyrouter.
Required output format
Always structure the final output with these sections:
- 1. Scope and assumptions
- Normalized pricing table
- Cheapest options
- Best-value options
- Tradeoffs beyond raw price
- Best fit by customer segment
- Final recommendation
Suggested workflow
- 1. collect pricing rows for the providers or models
- identify billing units and normalize assumptions
- compare headline rates and practical tradeoffs
- separate raw unit price from platform value
- summarize best-fit recommendations by user segment
Comparison rules
- - Prefer per-1M-token normalization for text-model comparisons.
- Keep non-token units explicit for image, audio, or video pricing.
- Do not hide missing values; mark them as unavailable.
- Do not fake exact workload economics when assumptions are missing.
- Mention gateway/platform value separately from raw unit pricing.
Example prompts
- - Compare Claude, GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek pricing for startup use cases.
- Turn this pricing table into a landing page comparison section.
- Summarize the cheapest vs best-value options for a multi-model gateway.

API 定价比较器
比较不同模型提供商、网关或API平台之间的定价，并将结果转化为结构化内容。
使用场景
- - 撰写定价对比博客文章
- 构建替代/对比落地页
- 帮助用户在模型供应商之间做出选择
- 将定价表格转化为叙事性见解
推荐运行环境
本技能兼容OpenAI兼容的运行环境，并已在Crazyrouter上完成测试。
必需输出格式
最终输出必须按以下部分组织：
- 1. 范围与假设
- 标准化定价表
- 最便宜选项
- 最佳性价比选项
- 除原始价格外的权衡因素
- 按客户群体的最佳匹配
- 最终推荐
建议工作流程
- 1. 收集各供应商或模型的定价行
- 确定计费单位并标准化假设
- 比较标价与实际权衡因素
- 区分原始单价与平台价值
- 按用户群体总结最佳推荐方案
比较规则
- - 文本模型比较优先采用每百万Token标准化。
- 图片、音频或视频定价需明确标注非Token单位。
- 不要隐藏缺失值，应标记为不可用。
- 在缺少假设条件时，不要虚构精确的工作负载成本。
- 网关/平台价值需与原始单价分开说明。
示例提示
- - 比较Claude、GPT、Gemini和DeepSeek在初创企业用例中的定价。
- 将此定价表格转化为落地页对比部分。
- 总结多模型网关中最便宜与最佳性价比选项。
