DeepSeek prices at a glance

DeepSeek's documented pricing is usage-based, not a subscription. The API charges per 1M tokens, with separate rates for input (cache miss), cached input and output. There are two models. deepseek-flash costs $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $1.20 per 1M output tokens at peak, and exactly half off-peak: $0.15 and $0.60. deepseek-v4-pro costs $1.32 input and $3.96 output at peak, or $0.66 and $1.98 off-peak. Peak hours are 01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC, Monday to Friday; every other hour, including weekends, is off-peak.

Cache hits are far cheaper than cache misses: for deepseek-flash, $0.006 per 1M input tokens at peak and $0.003 off-peak; for deepseek-v4-pro, $0.044 and $0.022. Both models list a 1M-token context and a 384K maximum output. The API deducts from a granted balance first, then from a topped-up balance. Whether the chat app is free, and what plans it has, could not be confirmed because the chat site blocked automated access, so no chat price is stated here.

What is free, what costs extra

Free access and trial

Costs that are easy to miss

  • Prices change with the clock: the same call costs double during weekday peak hours (01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00 UTC), so unscheduled traffic can cost up to twice the off-peak estimate.
  • Cache misses are billed at the full input rate; only repeated, cached input gets the lower cache-hit price.
  • The API is billed from a granted or topped-up balance, and the vendor reserves the right to change prices.
  • Taxes are not stated on the pricing page, and no extra fees beyond per-token usage are listed.
