Best LLM for every budget, updated daily
A daily chart ranks LLMs by Artificial Analysis scores against blended API price.
A site plots models on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index against blended API price, using a 3:1 input-to-output mix per million tokens. Models on the value frontier are those where nothing cheaper also scores higher; other models are worse on both price and intelligence. Data is pulled daily from Artificial Analysis's free API by a GitHub Actions job, and filters can reveal every reasoning-effort variant or hide low scorers.
- The value frontier keeps models that beat every cheaper option.
- Blended price uses a 3:1 input-to-output mix per million tokens.
- Cached, batch, and fast-mode discounts are excluded.
- Index re-bases mean older score snapshots are not comparable.

2 min read at bestmodelforyourbudget.terrydjony.comEvery model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index plotted against its blended API price. Models on the value frontier are the ones where nothing cheaper is also smarter; everything else is beaten on both counts by a point on the line. By default only the best variant of each model is shown and low scorers are hidden; use the filters to widen the field.
