How Progga pricing compares with official AI providers

Progga is not the lowest price in every single category. Across the paid GLM and current Kimi models we checked, however, Progga is consistently lower than buying from the official provider directly.

Where Progga is clearly ahead

Every paid GLM model in our verified set is cheaper through Progga for input, output, and cached input. The same is true for Kimi K2.6 and Kimi K2.7 Code. These are meaningful differences, not rounding artifacts.

75.8%

lower input pricing for GLM 5.2 than Z.AI direct.

64.7%

lower cached-input pricing for Kimi K2.6 than Kimi direct.

36.5%

lower output pricing for Kimi K2.7 Code than Kimi direct.

DeepSeek is competitive, with two exceptions

DeepSeek V4 Flash is lower through Progga for input and output. DeepSeek V4 Pro is lower for input and cached input. The remaining two dimensions are close enough that we prefer to state them plainly: Flash cache costs more through Progga, and Pro output is slightly higher.

The parts where we cost more

DeepSeek V4 Flash cached input: Progga is about 21% higher than DeepSeek direct.

DeepSeek V4 Pro output: Progga is about 3.8% higher than DeepSeek direct.

GLM 4.7 Flash: Z.AI currently offers this model free, while Progga charges for usage.

We are actively reviewing upstream sourcing. When our costs improve, our goal is to pass those reductions on through lower customer prices.

What the price table does not capture

Direct USD price is only part of the operating cost for a Bangladesh-based user. Progga combines BDT billing, one prepaid balance, one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, Progga Chat access, and request-level usage visibility. You can move between API work and Chat without opening another provider account.
