FAQ

Model comparison notes

How do GPT-5.5 vs GPT-5.5 Pro API prices compare?

Compare input and output prices per 1M tokens side by side. The same underlying model can list different prices by route (Direct API vs OpenRouter); this table uses the selected route records.

Which model looks cheaper?

Scenario cost depends on your input/output mix. The example monthly cost in the table uses default token volumes—adjust with the cost calculator for your traffic.

Are benchmark scores included?

Independent or provider-reported benchmark signals appear when available. Benchmarks do not replace price analysis—evaluate both for your quality requirements.
