THE COST OF BUILDING WITH AI
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.

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.
