Get listed: rules for providers

LLM API Price Tracker currently covers 66 providers. If you run an LLM API and want to be listed, please read these rules first. Everything below is checked by us from public sources, so a request that already includes the links in What to send is usually all we need.

Listing is free and cannot be bought. BranoLabs is a private, non-commercial project: we do not accept payment for listing, ranking or placement, and being listed never changes the cheapest-provider order.

Who can be listed

• Providers that sell API access to language models: model makers, inference hosts, clouds and aggregators.
• With publicly published per-token prices for pay-as-you-go API use.
• Chat-app subscriptions and flat-rate plans without a per-token API price are not API prices. We list these under “Checked, no public API pricing” on the methodology page.

1. A verifiable legal operator and headquarters

• We need the legal entity that operates the service, and where it is based, from a proper source. Accepted sources are an official imprint, the terms of service, the privacy policy, or a company registry entry or filing.
• A company name alone is not enough: the source must also say where the company is based (an address, or at least city and country). If your legal pages name the entity but no location, add a company registry link to your request.
• Not accepted on their own: careers pages, “about us” blurbs, or aggregator provider lists such as OpenRouter's.
• The source link is shown on your provider page as the “legal source”. Without it, the provider is held back and not listed.

2. Public prices on your own site

• Prices must be readable on your own public pricing page, model pages or a public models API, without logging in. Prices that are only visible after login, or only in a sales quote, are not used.
• We record per 1M tokens: input, output, cached input (if offered) and the context length. If a value isn't published, we leave it blank rather than guess.
• The main figure is your standard pay-as-you-go price. Temporary promotions, batch, flex and off-peak discounts are stored separately and are not used for ranking.
• Prices are shown in the currency you publish them in and are not converted.
• A script re-fetches every source page regularly. When a price no longer matches, the row is reviewed and updated or removed.

3. Credit- or subscription-billed services

• If you sell credits or a monthly plan instead of a plain per-token price, but publish how many credits each model uses per token, we may list calculated rows.
• These are labelled Calculated from credits and are excluded from cheapest-price answers, highlights and comparisons. See how calculated rows work.

4. Closed models resold by third parties

• Closed models such as Claude, GPT or Gemini offered by someone other than the model maker or its official cloud partners are listed only if you can show that you are an authorised or official channel.
• Prices far below the official vendor price without a clear explanation lead to a hold or rejection. This can be the closed-model rows only, or the whole provider.
• Open-weight models you host yourself (for example GLM, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi or Llama) are judged on the rules above.

5. “Uncensored” flag

A model is flagged uncensored only when its model card or your site explicitly says in writing that it is uncensored, abliterated or tuned for reduced refusals. We store the quoted claim and its source, and never infer it from a model name. See the methodology.

6. How we verify, hold or remove

• We verify every price and every company detail ourselves from public sources. Statements sent by email alone are not enough. They need a public page we can link to.
• We may hold a request, or remove an existing listing, if its sources disappear or contradict each other (for example a model list that doesn't match the pricing page).
• Every decision is based on these rules, not on whether a provider asked to be listed.

What to send

Email listing@branolabs.com with the subject “Listing request: <provider name>” and:

1. Your company's legal name.
2. A link to the imprint, terms of service or privacy policy that names this entity, ideally with its address.
3. Link(s) to your public pricing page(s), or a public models API with prices.
4. A link to your model catalog.
5. Optional: a company registry link, and for resold closed models, proof that you are an authorised channel.

This is a small private project, so there is no guaranteed response time. If a price on the site is wrong, use the bug link in the footer instead.
