What does Value× mean?
Value× is the ratio of a plan's estimated API-equivalent monthly usage value to its monthly price — a Value× of 5× means the plan unlocks roughly $5 of pay-as-you-go compute for every $1 you pay.
How we rank these
Every plan is scored by Value× — an estimate of the API-equivalent compute you'd have to buy to match what the subscription includes, divided by its monthly price. A higher Value× means more model usage per dollar. We don't rank by price alone, because a cheaper plan with tight limits can be worse value than a slightly pricier one.
