How does pricing work on DeepInfra?

DeepInfra is billed per 1 million tokens with zero idle server retention charges.

How much can I save on DeepInfra?

Developers save approximately 80% to 90% compared to proprietary frontier APIs like OpenAI GPT-4o.

Serverless Advantage: Zero Idle Disk or GPU Fees

Unlike renting raw GPU instances where stopped persistent volumes incur $0.10/GB/month and idle compute bills 24/7, DeepInfra charges purely for generated tokens. When your app receives zero traffic, your hourly cost is strictly $0.00.

Why Serverless APIs Eliminate Idle Stopped Storage Fees

When self-hosting open models like DeepSeek-R1 or Llama 3.3 on container clouds, an idle instance still accrues disk volume fees (approx. $0.10/GB/month) and you pay for every hour the server remains active. With DeepInfra's serverless API, there is zero idle compute or disk billing. You only pay for generated tokens.
