How LLMHub calculates model-specific savings
LLMHub prices can be up to 65% lower than the comparable direct provider price. Actual prices and savings vary by model, token type, and the reference price available on the verification date.
Discounts are model-specific: Anthropic models receive 30%, OpenAI models receive 45%, Google models receive 50%, and models from other listed manufacturers receive 65% off the comparable official price. The 65% discount does not apply to every model.

Model-specific calculation
- Reference price
- The direct provider price for the same model and usage type.
- LLMHub price
- The LLMHub price for that same model and usage type.
- Formula
- (reference price − LLMHub price) ÷ reference price × 100
Scope and limitations
“Up to 65%” is the maximum advertised saving. It is not a guaranteed discount for every model or request. Some models have a smaller difference from the comparable direct provider price.
A valid comparison requires the same model ID, usage type and unit, both price sources, and a verification date. Input, output, image, audio, and video rates must be compared separately where applicable. Provider and LLMHub prices can change after the verification date.
What your API budget means
Usage is deducted from the API key's budget using the price of the model and usage type selected for each request. The key remains usable until that budget is depleted or the key is revoked.
