According to CoinMeta, DeepSeek just announced a significant price increase, and Zhipu's GLM-5.3 has recently caught up. Assuming GLM-5.3 follows the API price of GLM-5.2, the regular token prices for both models during peak periods have basically leveled off. GLM-5.3 costs 8 yuan per million token inputs and outputs 28 yuan, while v4-pro is priced at 9 yuan and 27 yuan respectively. GLM-5.3 performs better in most comparable evaluations, especially in scenarios that require continuous coding, tool invocation, and long-running tasks. DeepSeek remains affordable during off-peak and caching periods; during these times, the input and output costs for v4-pro drop to 4.5 yuan and 13.5 yuan respectively, with caching hits even lower at 0.15 yuan, whereas GLM costs 2 yuan. When running high-difficulty agent during the day, GLM-5.3 offers better value for money.
