When you should choose DeepInfra
If your workload is text-only, high-volume, and you are optimising purely for the lowest per-token rate, check DeepInfra's number against ours model by model before switching — on several popular models they are cheaper, and we would rather you find that out here than feel misled later. They run their own GPU fleet at real scale and it shows in the pricing.
When you should choose us
If your stack includes video generation, or you want the official rate printed next to what you pay so the markup question never has to be asked, or you need per-client key separation with independent caps — those are the places we are clearly the better choice.
