Use case
Use this comparison when broad model access is useful, but your backend team needs tighter control over model naming, endpoint paths, and billing verification.
Standard model names and pricing
Source: GET https://cn.crazyrouter.com/api/pricing, snapshot 2026-06-06.
When Crazyrouter is the better fit
Crazyrouter works well when production calls need a clear contract: a copied model name, an endpoint from the docs, and a price row that can be checked before launch. This is especially helpful for teams that need to explain monthly spend to product or finance stakeholders.
- Pricing source: GET https://cn.crazyrouter.com/api/pricing.
- OpenAI-compatible Base URL: https://cn.crazyrouter.com/v1.
- Console and billing records: https://crazyrouter.com.
Where CometAPI remains strong
CometAPI can be a good fit when the main requirement is access to a broad and frequently changing model catalog. Crazyrouter is intentionally better for the subset of models it exposes with documented pricing and endpoint behavior.
Migration path
Start by replacing one high-volume call path, not the whole catalog. Verify the Crazyrouter model row, run a small batch, compare latency and accepted-output cost, then move the next call path.
- gpt-image-2: $0.0377/image after 0.65x discount; public_endpoint_types = image-generation.
- nano-banana-2: $0.0369/image after 0.55x discount; public_endpoint_types = image-generation.
- qwen-image-max: $0.0714/image; public_endpoint_types = image-generation.
- veo-3.1-fast: $0.10/second; public_endpoint_types = unified-video.
Decision summary
Use CometAPI when catalog breadth is the primary requirement. Use Crazyrouter when the production priority is model clarity, pricing visibility, and a narrower set of documented workflows.
