Spreads worth shopping

Ranked by actionable input-price spread across distinct sellers at equal-or-better serving precision, where the cheaper seller is also cheaper on the balanced blend (3 parts input to 1 part output). A vendor’s own service tiers are not competition. Unpriced models are excluded. Unrated is not scored zero.

45 models

As of . Condition: equal-or-better declared precision; cheaper lower-precision is not a saving; the cheaper input seller is also cheaper on the balanced blend (3 input : 1 output).

Worth shopping

Spread is the dearest ÷ cheapest input price among sellers at the reference precision or better, listed only where the cheaper seller is also cheaper on the balanced blend. Cheaper lower-precision endpoints do not enter this table as a saving.

Precision differences — not established savings

These rates differ, but the cheapest endpoint has lower or undeclared precision. The raw ratio does not establish a saving at the reference precision.

Excluded from the ranked list

  • 0 unpriced — no finite input price (missing price is not free).
  • 206 single-seller — one shop is not a market.
  • 17 no actionable equal-or-better spread.
  • 31 lower or unknown precision — listed above, not as savings.
  • 0 where the cheaper input seller is not, or cannot be shown to be, cheaper on the balanced blend.
  • 49 no declared serving precision across sellers.
  • 0 on the publication denylist — never shown.

Questions this page answers

How is spread computed on this page?

Spread is dearest ÷ cheapest input price among distinct sellers at the reference serving precision or better. A vendor listing the same model at its own service tiers is not competition. A spread is listed only when the cheaper seller is also cheaper on the balanced blend the site ranks by (3 parts input to 1 part output); otherwise the input spread would point at the dearer seller.

Why are some models excluded?

Unpriced models are excluded. Cheaper endpoints at lower precision do not count as a saving if the reference precision is higher.

Does a high spread mean I should switch?

It means multiple sellers publish different rates at equal-or-better precision. Capability dominance is on /check/ and /frontier/; this page is shopping geometry only.
