Pricing Policy Update: USD Quotes Now Follow CNY Base Price (No Markup)

Starting today, all model prices on TideAPI are quoted in USD using direct FX conversion from CNY base prices at $1 = ¥7.2, with no pricing markup.

We have updated our pricing policy to improve transparency and consistency across product pages, pricing calculators, and model cards. Effective immediately, all USD prices are generated from domestic CNY base prices with direct FX conversion only.

New Pricing Formula

The updated formula is: USD Price = CNY Price ÷ 7.2. No additional multiplier or markup is applied in the current policy.

FX Rate

$1 = ¥7.2

Markup

0% (No markup)

Formula

USD = CNY ÷ 7.2

Example: DeepSeek-V4-Pro

Under the new policy, DeepSeek-V4-Pro is priced from domestic rates of ¥12 input / ¥24 output per 1M tokens, converted directly to USD.

Input

$1.67 / 1M tokens

Output

$3.33 / 1M tokens

Display Improvements

We also improved price formatting across the website to avoid long decimal strings. Small prices now use readable precision while preserving underlying billing accuracy.

What This Means for Partners

This change makes public pricing easier to audit and compare with source provider rates. Existing integrations continue to work with no API changes required.
