Claude vs GPT vs Gemini vs DeepSeek: Price Comparison

Choosing the right model isn't just about price — it's about cost-per-quality for your use case. Here's how all major models compare at FuturMix's discounted rates.

Model Provider FuturMix Input/1M FuturMix Output/1M Discount Best For
Claude Sonnet 4 Anthropic $2.70 $13.50 10% OFF Code, reasoning, analysis
Claude Haiku 4.5 Anthropic $0.90 $4.50 10% OFF Classification, extraction, chat
GPT-5.4 OpenAI $1.75 $10.50 30% OFF General purpose, creative
GPT-5.4 Mini OpenAI $0.53 $3.15 30% OFF Fast tasks, high volume
Gemini 2.5 Pro Google $1.00 $8.00 20% OFF Long context, multimodal
Gemini 2.5 Flash Google $0.24 $2.00 20% OFF Speed-sensitive, bulk tasks
DeepSeek V3 DeepSeek $0.19 $0.77 30% OFF Bulk coding, cost-sensitive
DeepSeek R1 DeepSeek $0.39 $1.53 30% OFF Math, reasoning, research
💡 Pro tip: Use model routing to cut costs further
Route simple tasks to Haiku/Flash ($0.24-0.90/M input) and reserve Sonnet/Opus for complex reasoning. Most teams save an additional 40-60% by routing strategically rather than using one model for everything.

When to Use Each Claude Model

Claude Opus 4.1 / 4.6 — $4.50-13.50/M input

Use Opus for tasks requiring the highest reasoning capability: complex multi-step analysis, long-form code generation, research synthesis, and tasks where output quality matters more than cost. Opus 4.1 is the most capable; Opus 4.6 is the latest and offers strong performance at a lower price point ($4.50 vs $13.50 input).

Claude Sonnet 4 / 4.5 / 4.6 — $2.70/M input

The best all-around choice for most production workloads. Excellent at code generation, debugging, creative writing, and structured analysis. Sonnet offers 90%+ of Opus quality at a fraction of the cost. Most Claude Code and Cursor users should default to Sonnet.

Claude Haiku 4.5 — $0.90/M input

Use Haiku for high-throughput, latency-sensitive tasks: classification, entity extraction, short Q&A, content moderation, and routing. At $0.90/M input, it's ideal for processing large volumes where speed matters more than depth.
