Why $0 rows beat “10% cheaper” tables

Most deepseek api pricing articles only shuffle paid token rates. Keyo lists deepseek-v4-flash-free and deepseek-v4-pro-free at permanent $0 with fair-use limits — the strongest prototype story you can put in a comparison table without being clickbait, as long as you disclose rate limits.

Rates and how to call

Engineers comparing deepseek api pricing usually already trust the model family and are shopping hosts: official platforms, aggregators, or a multi-model API. KeyoAPI is the third option — OpenAI-compatible base URL, prepaid balance, and Gemini/Whisper/OCR on the same key when DeepSeek is only part of the stack.

Indicative Keyo sell rates above come from the live Keyo catalog. Confirm /pricing/deepseek-v4-flash and /pricing/deepseek-v4-pro before volume contracts. Free IDs keep ModelPrice at $0; they are not unlimited production SLAs.

How to call: POST https://www.keyoapi.xyz/v1/chat/completions with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY and model set to a Flash/Pro free or paid ID. See dedicated guides at /model/deepseek-v4-flash and /model/deepseek-v4-pro for longer how-tos.

If your search was really about Gemini dollars, jump to /gemini-api-pricing. For the full free catalog, open /free-models.

FAQ

Is Keyo’s DeepSeek API pricing cheaper than official?

It depends on official promotions, cache discounts, and currency. Use this table for planning, then verify both Keyo live rates and DeepSeek’s current public list.

What’s the catch on $0 DeepSeek?

Fair-use rate and concurrency limits on the Keyo Free channel. Disclose that in any public post — silent rate limits feel like bait-and-switch.
