Qianwen Token API Price Comparison: Notes
- `models` covers 44 commercial Qwen text-gen ids (incl. qwen3-coder-next, qwen3.5-ocr, etc.)—not open-source hosted section, dated snapshots, `-us` ids, or third-party models.
- Some models use tiered billing: all tokens in a request bill at the band matching total input size (e.g. 0–256K vs 256K–1M differ). Page shows representative low-band prices—verify full tables before launch.
- Qwen-Turbo non-reasoning: ¥0.3 input, ¥0.6 output per 1M tokens; Qwen3.8-Max debuted (¥12/¥36); Qwen3.7-Max main ID (qwen3.7-max) limited 50% off (orig ¥12/¥36, now ¥6/¥18); Qwen3.7-Plus main ID limited 20% off (orig ¥2/¥8, now ¥1.6/¥6.4).
- New users often get free quota with expiry, not always shared across models—confirm balance and free packs in the console before production.
