# KI-Preise.info Review Free German-language price comparison for 165+ AI models, with API costs in euros, a cost calculator, and hourly-updated pricing from ## Editor's Score: 72/100 Capability scores 20 because the site genuinely does its core job well: 165 models, 216 providers, 5-minute update cycles, and multi-modal coverage are real differentiators for a free tool. Ease of use scores 20 because the interface is logically organized with named sections for each modality and a calculator that reduces raw token math to a monthly estimate, though the German-only presentation creates friction for any non-German speaker. Value scores 25 because the tool is entirely free with no sign-up, no paid tier, and no upsell, which is the maximum possible value for a reference tool of this type. Delivery scores 7 because the social search failed entirely and no independent user sentiment, press coverage, or third-party verification of the site's claims could be confirmed in search results; the site's own transparency about sourcing is a positive signal, but the absence of any corroborating external evidence and the inability to verify social presence or operator identity means delivery cannot be scored higher without a human editor's verification. ## Pros - Prices are pulled from official manufacturer lists and verified automatically every 5 minutes for most sources, making it one of the most current free references available for AI API costs. - The savings-duel feature concretely shows the cheapest provider for the same model, with documented gaps of up to 62% between routes, which is actionable information a raw price table does not give you. - Coverage spans 165 models across 216 API providers, including local models, video, voice, music, and transcription, so it is not limited to the major text-only APIs. ## Cons - The entire site is German-only: every guide, label, calculator prompt, and FAQ is in German, which makes it effectively unusable for non-German-speaking buyers despite the underlying data being globally relevant. - There is no API or embeddable widget for the price data, so developers who want to pull current pricing into their own tooling or dashboards cannot do so programmatically through this site. - The blended price metric (3 parts input, 1 part output) is a reasonable simplification but may mislead buyers whose workloads are heavily output-skewed, such as long-form generation tasks, since the ratio is fixed and not adjustable in the main table. ## Pricing Free.

Directory: https://aitoolseekers.com This review: https://aitoolseekers.com/tools/ki-preiseinfo Methodology: https://aitoolseekers.com/how-verification-works ## Verdict KI-Preise.info is the go-to reference for German-speaking developers and buyers who need API token prices converted to euros and compared across 216 providers in one place. Its coverage is genuinely broad, but the site is German-only, which limits its usefulness for anyone outside that language context. If you need English-language AI pricing comparison or broader product reviews rather than raw API cost data, look elsewhere. Best for: German-speaking developers and technical buyers comparing AI API costs across providers Not for: English-speaking users or anyone needing qualitative AI tool reviews rather than raw pricing data ## Overview KI-Preise.info is a free, independent, German-language price comparison site for AI models. Its core function is straightforward: it pulls prices directly from official manufacturer price lists, converts them to euros at the European Central Bank reference rate (no markup), and presents them in a sortable table. As of October 9, 2026, it tracks 165 models across 216 API providers. What separates it from a static spreadsheet is the update frequency. Most sources are checked every 5 minutes; some manufacturer pages are checked hourly. A "Spar-Duell" (savings duel) feature highlights the cheapest provider for the same underlying model, with the site showing gaps as large as 62% between the most and least expensive routes for identical models. The watchlist and price-alert features let users flag specific models and get notified when prices change. Coverage goes beyond text and chat. The site includes sections for image, video, voice, music, transcription, code, and 3D/special models, plus a dedicated area for local models that run on your own hardware. A cost calculator lets you input a realistic monthly workload and see estimated costs across the cheapest matching models, which is more useful than a raw per-token table for anyone planning a production budget. The site is German-only. Every label, guide, and FAQ is written in German, and the editorial framing assumes a European buyer paying in euros. That is a genuine constraint for non-German-speaking users, even though the underlying price data covers global providers. ## Who should use it The clearest fit is a German-speaking developer or technical product manager who pays for AI APIs and wants to know, quickly, whether they are overpaying. If you are routing traffic through OpenRouter or a third-party provider and have not checked whether a cheaper path to the same model exists, the savings-duel feature alone is worth a visit. The cost calculator is also useful for anyone scoping a new project who needs a realistic monthly budget estimate rather than a theoretical per-token rate. Freelancers and small agencies in German-speaking markets who subscribe to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and want to understand whether an API arrangement would be cheaper will find the subscription-versus-API comparison guides directly relevant. Anyone who needs English-language content, qualitative tool reviews, or coverage of non-pricing factors like reliability and support should look elsewhere. For broader AI tool discovery and comparison in English, Openspender (already in this directory) covers the agent-tooling and spend-management angle for teams building on top of AI APIs. ## FAQ Q: Does KI-Preise.info cost anything to use? A: No. The site is free with no sign-up required and lists no paid tiers. Q: How often are the prices updated? A: Most sources are checked automatically every 5 minutes; some manufacturer pages are checked hourly. When a provider changes a price, the new figure appears shortly after. Q: How many AI models and providers does the site cover? A: As of October 9, 2026, the site tracks 165 models across 216 API providers. Q: Are prices shown in US dollars or euros? A: Prices are displayed in euros, converted from source currencies at the European Central Bank reference rate with no markup. You can toggle between EUR and USD on the site. Q: Does the site cover anything beyond text and chat models? A: Yes. It includes dedicated sections for image, video, voice, music, transcription, code, 3D/special models, and local models that run on your own hardware. Q: Can I use the price data in my own application or dashboard? A: The site does not advertise a public API or embeddable widget for its pricing data, so programmatic access is not a documented option.
