What is the DeepSeek price?

The DeepSeek price on this desk is the official API rate card plus the $0 web/app plan. Flash off-peak is $0.15 input (cache miss) and $0.60 output per 1M tokens; peak is double. This page does not pick a single free daily quota, because official docs do not publish one and community figures conflict.

Published DeepSeek price

Official Models & Pricing lists USD per 1M tokens. deepseek-flash (V4.1-Flash) off-peak: cache hit $0.003, cache miss $0.15, output $0.60. Peak is double those rates. Peak hours are 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 UTC, Monday through Friday. deepseek-v4-pro is listed at $0.66 / $1.98 off-peak (cache miss / output) until 12:00 Beijing time on 14 Sep 2026, when that endpoint routes to Flash at Flash prices.

Why there is no single free-quota number

Official DeepSeek API docs publish token prices and discuss rate limits. They do not publish one stable free daily quota. Community posts disagree with each other, so this page shows no single free-tier number.
