IranRouter’s measurements

Price & cost

Every rate in Rial. A request pays only for the tokens it actually uses.

With prompt caching, the fixed part of your prompt is billed at the cache-read rate on later requests.

What would this model cost you a month?

Monthly cost

1.08BIRR

36.11M IRR a day, 18K IRR each request

30 days at today’s rate.

Rial price over 90 days

It moves with the exchange rate; the steps are the maker’s own price changes. Built at today’s margin, so approximate if the margin changed in the window.

Performance, 30 days

Health is measured by IranRouter itself: a day counts as healthy unless requests to this model failed on our side or it could not be served. First token and speed come from IranRouter’s traffic, and from public market statistics for this model on days without enough of it.
