What's live

Four desks. One source of truth.

Every page is generated from a JSON file in our public git repo. Every row links back to the vendor's own pricing or release page.

🏆Live

Public benches

We mirror LMArena, CursorBench, Aider, LiveCodeBench and more. Their ranking, our table — no composite score.

▣Live

Plan Compare

Overseas and domestic Code / Agent / Token plans in one matrix. Wizard, filters, and a cost calculator.

◇Live

API Pricing

Input / output cost per million tokens, context window, status. Auto-verified daily against vendor pages.

⌁Live

Agent API

Machine-readable /api/v1 for models, pricing, plans, and leaderboards. Built for agents, not just browsers.

How

How the data stays honest

Edited by humans

All data lives in a JSON file in our public git repo. Every change is a PR, fully audited.

Verified by robots

A daily script fetches each vendor's pricing page and confirms our numbers still appear in it.

Flagged when stale

If a vendor changes their page and verification fails, the row gets a yellow badge and the failure reason is shown.

No paid placement

Vendors cannot pay to be added, removed, or re-ranked. There is no advertising. The site is funded by the operating company.
