Who does it serve and what problem does it solve?
It stands on a clean interface where you can compare at a glance on one page, wide model coverage, and real-time price updates, which is more convenient than flipping through each vendor's pricing page, with benchmark scores and a coding-tool leaderboard attached
Target Audience
AI developers choosing an LLM API who need to estimate call costs, and small companies that use large models
How does it charge?
Pricing model unknownFree to look up on the website; paid plans not found (Revenue record shows 2 subscriptions and MRR $1,800, possibly sponsored placements or a data service, speculation)
The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.
Where do users come from?
Traffic estimate 2026-09: the top channel is organic search at 73.27%, followed by direct, with referral only about 4%; 3.3K keywords, with non-brand terms such as deepseek pricing, codex pricing, groq free models, and token counter, which correspond to the site's per-model price pages and comparison pages. The Show HN of 2025-07-25 got 339 points and was the source of the first wave of developer traffic; after that the founder posted on HN with every new page, but got only 1-2 points. The only social source is Reddit, and no channel was filled in on Revenue record. Returning users come back to check prices when models get price increases or cuts and new models launch, and through the newsletter.
Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.
