price check: 150+ models, live.
Looking for the cheapest LLM API? Here's the thing: the cheapest model changes constantly. Sellers on the Surplus Intelligence marketplace reprice in real time, and new models launch all the time. A static comparison is stale the moment it's published.
surp.ivc.lol solves this differently: it's an LLM API that routes to whatever is cheapest at request time. You don't pick a provider — you pick a class of work ("coding", "chat", "reasoning") and the gateway picks the cheapest model serving that class right now. You pay the live market price plus a 5% gateway fee.
examples from the live marketplace (per 1M tokens):
| model | retail list price | via surp.ivc.lol | savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| deepseek-v4-flash | ~$0.20 | ~$0.04 | ~80% |
| qwen3-coder-turbo | ~$1.00 | ~$0.42 | ~58% |
| gpt-5.6-terra | ~$1.75 | ~$0.18 | ~90% |
| glm-5.2 | ~$0.60 | ~$0.03 | ~95% |
