How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Transparency and funding

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Estimated cost to self-host

DeepSeek V4 Pro needs about 882 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 4× B300 at about $22,723 a month.

That costs the same as roughly 13B tokens a month on DeepSeek's API. Self-hosting is more expensive below that volume.

What it costs to self-host DeepSeek V4 Pro at each precision: the memory it needs, the cheapest rental that holds it, that rental's month and the API volume it pays off at
Precision	Memory	Cheapest fit (32K context)(Full 1M context)	Cost /mo	Break-even vs API

Estimates based on median on-demand rates for Nvidia GPUs. Memory is weights plus KV cache for one request, using FP8 KV cache where supported and FP16/BF16 otherwise. Break-even assumes a 5:1 input-to-output ratio. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. How we estimate costs.

Common questions

What is DeepSeek V4 Pro good for?

The widest range of text tasks in DeepSeek's lineup, its flagship. MIT-licensed weights, though at 1.6T parameters serving them takes a multi-GPU node.

When is DeepSeek V4 Pro not a good fit?

Image input: it is text only. Self-hosting is far heavier than V4 Flash, and it sits mid-range on price in DeepSeek's lineup.

What is the cheapest way to run DeepSeek V4 Pro?

Hosted, unless you push serious volume. DeepSeek charges $1.32 in / $3.96 out per 1M tokens. The cheapest rental that fits is 4x B300 at $22,723 a month, which costs the same as about 13B tokens a month on that API.

Can I self-host DeepSeek V4 Pro?

Yes. The weights are MIT licensed. At 4-bit it needs about 882 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $22,723 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
