DeepSeek models on Tokely

Compare DeepSeek input, output and cached-input costs. The input/output mix can change which route is cheaper, so use the same workload on both sides.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Use a Tokely API key and balance for the supported DeepSeek models below. Each page lists its exact model ID, supported endpoint, input requirements and price. Tokely provides gateway access; it is not the model developer.

Text rates for a matched workload

USD per 1M tokens. Example: 1M uncached input + 250K output. Tokely rates dated 2026-10-09; OpenRouter references checked 2026-10-09. Platform/checkout fees, taxes, special units and context tiers excluded. Different models are not quality equivalents. Methodology.

Choose a version, then connect

Open the model page and check the endpoint and parameter limits. Availability in a developer's native catalog does not imply every native feature is exposed through Tokely. A separate developer API key is not required for the supported routes.
