What this board tests: a question in, a synthesized answer with cited sources out. Every provider below ran the identical corpus on 2026-06-21. The composite blends measured quality, latency p50, cost per successful call and error rate. Method and corpora: how we measure.

Low scores are published alongside high ones — a ranking you can only trust if nothing gets hidden. The gateway's fee sits on top-ups, not per call, so the order above earns us nothing either way.
