No model matches both filters. Change one of them.
Prices are base list prices for the company's own API. Long prompts, batch work, caching and other platforms can change them, so confirm on the company's page before you budget. A dash or "See company page" means we could not confirm the figure, so we leave it out.

Which model for which job
Start from the job, then use the table to narrow the list. Test the finalists on your own examples before you commit.
Customer support chat
Look for tool use and a low price per token, because volume drives the bill.
AI Customer SupportDocuments and invoices
Look for PDF input and a large context window, so long files fit in one request.
AI Document ProcessingAgents that take actions

AI model comparison FAQs
Which AI model is best for a business?
There is no single best model. It depends on the job, your volume and your data rules. Use the table to narrow the list by what the model can read and what it costs, then test the finalists on your own examples.
What is the difference between ChatGPT and GPT models?
ChatGPT is OpenAI's app, and GPT models are what you call through OpenAI's API when you build your own software. The same split applies to the Claude and Gemini apps and their API models, and limits and prices can differ between them.
What is a context window?
The amount of text a model can work with in one request, counted in tokens. A larger window lets a model read longer documents or conversations at once.
What do the prices in the table mean?
The base list price per one million tokens: "in" for the text you send and "out" for the text the model writes. Long prompts, batch work and caching can change the price, so confirm on the company's page.
Why do some models say "See company page"?
Because we could not confirm the figure. Rather than guess, we leave the number out and link to the company's pricing page.
What does "open weights" mean?
The company publishes the trained model so you can run it on infrastructure you control. Check the license, which sets out how you may use it.
