# Model comparisons

23 head-to-head comparisons, each pricing both models at one stated monthly volume rather than printing two rate cards.

**Availability:** 7 of the 24 catalogued models are callable today. The rest are listed at their intended rate but no configured upstream serves them, so a request naming one returns `no available channel`. Every table below marks which is which.
