DeepSeek pricing — frequently asked questions
How much does DeepSeek API cost? ▼
DeepSeek API has two current models. DeepSeek-V4-Flash: $0.14/1M input (cache miss), $0.0028/1M (cache hit), $0.28/1M output. DeepSeek-V4-Pro: $0.435/1M input (cache miss), $0.003625/1M (cache hit), $0.87/1M output. Both models have a 1M-token context window, and these are the current published first-party rates (verified 2026-06-05).
How does DeepSeek compare to OpenAI GPT-4o on price? ▼
DeepSeek-V4-Flash cache-miss input is $0.14/1M vs GPT-4o's roughly $2.50/1M — about 18× cheaper — and output is $0.28 vs about $10.00. With cache hits, V4-Flash input drops to $0.0028/1M, making reused-context input effectively negligible compared with US frontier models.
Is DeepSeek open source? ▼
Yes. DeepSeek model weights are released under the MIT license on Hugging Face. You can self-host DeepSeek on your own infrastructure or via third-party providers (Fireworks AI, Together AI, Amazon Bedrock) without using DeepSeek's API.
What happened to deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner? ▼
The model names deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner are now compatibility aliases. deepseek-chat maps to the non-thinking mode of DeepSeek-V4-Flash and deepseek-reasoner maps to its thinking mode. Both aliases are scheduled to be deprecated on 2026-07-24, so new integrations should target deepseek-v4-flash or deepseek-v4-pro directly.
Is this DeepSeek pricing calculator free and accurate? ▼
Yes — it's completely free with no signup. It uses the latest publicly available DeepSeek pricing (verified June 2026). Actual costs may vary with volume discounts or enterprise terms — always confirm on DeepSeek's official pricing page.
