## Answer

Tokenomy tracks current AI model identity, list pricing, context windows, release dates and provenance from provider-backed catalogs. The page shows the actual observation time and leaves unknown values unlisted rather than estimating them.

Tokenomy rebuilds this catalog from source feeds twice daily. Unknown prices remain unlisted, and every page shows the catalog observation time.

## What is verified

Model identity, provider, release date, list price, context window and source provenance are displayed when the source catalog supplies them.

## Find what you're overpaying

Pricing alone does not tell you where your money leaks. Run the free waste scanner on your usage export to see wrong-tier models, oversized prompts, duplicate calls and retry storms — with dollars recoverable per finding.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which AI model is cheapest per million tokens?

The answer changes as providers launch models and change rates. Tokenomy sorts the current source-backed catalog by published list price and shows its observation time.

### How do I compare AI model prices?

Compare on output price per 1M tokens weighted by your actual output/input ratio, not on headline input price. Tokenomy's per-model pages compute monthly cost from your call volume and token shape.
