About LLModel
LLModel.com helps people choose, price and use large language models with confidence. It's independent: no model provider owns it, funds it or pays to change what it says.
Why LLModel exists
New language models arrive every few weeks, prices change without much notice, and most of what's written about them is either a launch announcement or a hot take. Teams still have to make careful decisions: which model to build on, what it will cost at scale, whether it can run on their own hardware, and what can go wrong. LLModel collects the facts you need for those decisions in one place and explains them in plain English.
What you'll find here
- A model directory of 55 models from 17 providers, with prices, context windows, licenses and sources for every entry.
- Comparisons and shortlists that put models side by side and work out real monthly costs.
- Seven free tools, from a cost calculator to a VRAM calculator and a prompt builder, that run in your browser.
- 14 in-depth guides on how LLMs work, what they cost, how to build with them and how they fail.
- A 169-term glossary, curated videos, a prompt library, a resources directory and a timeline of the field.
How we work
Every fact about a model is checked against the provider's own documentation and pricing pages, and each model page lists its sources and the date we checked them. When we can't verify something, we leave it blank rather than guess. Rankings follow a published formula, and our capability tiers are labeled as editorial judgment. The details are in our editorial policy.
How LLModel is funded
We want you to know exactly how this site pays for itself:
- Display advertising served by Google AdSense.
- Sponsorships and featured listings, always labeled as sponsored.
- Referral fees from implementation partners, only when a reader asks to be introduced and later hires that partner.
- Reader support through one-time or monthly contributions.
None of these buys a ranking, a score or a recommendation. If that ever changed, this page would say so.
