Claude vs GPT: API price and fit
Claude and GPT API models compared by per-token price, cache rate, endpoints and tooling. Choose per task and switch between them with one OpenAI-compatible key.
Compare Gemini and Claude API models side by side: per-token prices, cache rates, input types and integration. Pick per task, then test both on one key.
Gemini Flash models are usually the cheaper choice for high-volume and multimodal work; Claude Sonnet and Opus are the common choice for coding agents and long-form reasoning, and Claude works with Claude Code through /v1/messages. Prices differ by version: the table lists every enabled Gemini and Claude model on Tokely with the developer's reference price.

Compare Gemini Flash with Claude Haiku, and Gemini Pro with Claude Sonnet or Opus. Comparing a Flash model with Opus measures two different products. Keep the token mix of your workload, especially output length, when you compare.
Both families accept images and PDFs inline on Tokely for compatible versions, support function tools and streaming, and bill cached prefixes at a lower rate. Claude models also accept the native Anthropic Messages API used by Claude Code; Gemini models are called through the OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
This page publishes prices and supported features, not quality scores. Run the same 20 to 50 representative prompts through one Gemini and one Claude model on the same Tokely key, compare accepted answers per dollar, and keep the winner per task.
Every model on this page is available through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint and one balance, with routing modes, bounded fallback, spending limits and request logs.
A hosted LLM gateway with one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, account routing modes, bounded fallback, spending limits and request logs. Text, image, video and audio from one balance.
Keep the OpenAI SDK and call Claude, Gemini, GPT, Kimi, GLM and other supported models. Change the base URL, key and model ID.
At comparable tiers Gemini Flash is usually cheaper per token than Claude Sonnet. Check the exact versions in the table; the gap depends on the model and your input/output mix.
Yes. One Tokely key and balance call both families; switching is a change of model ID.
Check the model, compare the rate, and connect with a Tokely key.
