Editorial policy

Last updated: 2026-09-23.

Selection

CostUse covers AI models, APIs, and other services when their usage prices can be tied to a public provider source and a clear billing unit. Inclusion is for price reference; it is not an endorsement of a provider's quality.

Sources

A pricing entry links to the provider's public pricing page or documentation. Unverified reports, community posts, and screenshots without an official source are not used as the sole basis for a rate.

Rates and estimates

Pricing pages show a last-checked date alongside the source link. The date records when the listed rate was checked; it does not guarantee that the provider has kept the rate unchanged since then. Calculators use the rate, unit, and workload assumptions displayed on the page.

Corrections

To report an error, send the CostUse page URL, the provider's public source, and the rate or unit that should be reviewed through the contact page. Changes are based on the source information available for review.

Independence

CostUse is not an official pricing source for the services it covers. Any commercial relationship must be disclosed and must not change the published rate or calculation.

Editorial responsibility

Kevin Henrique maintains the pricing references and calculators and is responsible for publication decisions and corrections. A CostUse estimate remains a comparison tool; the provider's current price and the reader's plan determine the actual charge.
