How it works

Built so anyone can choose well.

BetterLLMs is a decision helper, not another chat app. It answers three questions: which model, how much it costs, and whether switching is worth it.

  1. 01

    Name the task

    Coding, writing, analysis, long documents, creative work, cheap bulk jobs, or general chat.

  2. 02

    See three picks

    Best overall, best value, and cheapest usable. You choose the tradeoff — we don’t hide it.

  3. 03

    Check the bill

    Cost is explained in everyday language: what you send vs what the model writes, plus an example chat in dollars. Open Advanced if you want the per-million-token rates.

  4. 04

    Switch with care

    Changing models mid-thread can drop context. We say Switch or Don’t switch in one line.

  5. 05

    Plan Copilot credits

    Enter your monthly credits and how many you’ve used (leave used empty for 0). We pace what’s left by task: everyday model, harder model, and a cheaper one.

  6. 06

    Read the credit tips

    Separate tabs for Auto, Chat, agents, pasted context, and which model to open — so leftover credits last the month.

What “$2/M in · $10/M out” means

That shorthand is industry jargon. “In” is reading your message. “Out” is writing the answer. “/M” means per million tokens — about a 1,500-page book of text, not one chat. A typical coding session on Claude Sonnet 5 is a few cents, not $2 or $10.

Catalog sources

19 current models across 8 providers, plus earlier versions for comparison. This is a curated text and coding catalog, not every model or specialized media API.

Latest additions checked on . Prices are USD per million tokens at base text rates, not live quotes. Previous entries retain historical snapshots. Current means a current recommendation, not guaranteed availability in every app or region. Qwen uses international list rates. Cache writes, reasoning, tools, and long-context tiers can change the total bill. Speed and task-fit descriptions are editorial guidance, not measured benchmarks.

Task picks are editorial suggestions, not benchmark rankings. The Copilot planner uses a separate model list; API availability does not confirm Copilot availability. Confirm your plan and organization settings.

What we don’t do yet

No accounts, no live price sync, no auto-routing, and no editor plugins. Those come later. This MVP is here to make the choice obvious.
