tokevenDeepSeek V4 Pro
DeepSeek V4 Pro is DeepSeek's most capable model, priced at $0.66/MTok input and $1.98/MTok output with a 1M context window. Prices are off-peak rates from api-docs.deepseek.com (read 2026-10-11). Peak-hour prices are 2x the listed input and output rates — Tokeven does not model time-of-day tiers; off-peak is used as the base. Cache hit: $0.022/MTok input. No batch discount published. Not yet benchmarked, so never recommended.

Monthly cost projections
Projected monthly spend at different call volumes, using code generation as a representative workload (2,000 input / 4,000 output tokens per call).
| Calls / month | Without caching | With caching (97% read discount) |
|---|---|---|
| 1K | $9.24 | $8.35 |
| 10K | $92.4 | $83.46 |
| 100K | $924 | $834.65 |
| 500K | $4,620 | $4,173.25 |
| 1M | $9,240 | $8,346.49 |
Caching estimate assumes 70% of input tokens are cache reads. Your actual cache hit rate will depend on prompt structure and reuse.
