DeepSeek pricing considerations
Free plan available
The consumer assistant is free to access. API charges depend on model, input, cached input, output and peak or off-peak usage; calculate a representative workload instead of treating a chat account as an API subscription.
The official mobile assistant is offered for free. No unlimited-use guarantee or continuing free API balance is assumed.
Calculate costs from your vendor quote →What to check before choosing
- A free chat experience does not include free programmatic usage or an enterprise service commitment.
- API capabilities and model names do not establish identical features in every chat mode.
- Verify account availability, data-handling requirements and the required input types before uploading business material.
Test the same sample work, confirm your required plan and check how to export your data before committing.
