Seven of OpenRouter’s twenty most-used models cost more than $1 per million output tokens — Hy4 preview leads them at 9.07T tokens a week

Asked:

“What are the most used models on openrouter that are priced over a dollar in output”

OpenRouter’s top 20 text models by trailing-seven-day tokens processed, data through 2026-11-01 UTC and checked on 2026-11-02, were screened against each model’s listed output price. Seven of the 20 qualify at strictly more than $1 per 1 million output tokens — a model priced at exactly $1 is excluded. The pricing synthesis is single-sourced to AIMap’s joined price table. Usage measures demand, not quality.

Hy4 preview is the most used qualifying model at 9.07T tokens over seven days, yet it sits only #5 overall — the four busier models are all priced at $1/M output or below. openrouter.ai

Claude Opus 5.5 is the priciest on the list at $20/M output and still moves 6.73T tokens a week, the second-highest qualifying volume. aimap.page

Step 5 Preview, at $2.70/M, grew 72% week over week per the independent ranking mirror — the fastest riser among the seven. aimodelrankings.org

GPT-5.6 Luna barely clears the bar at $1.20/M output; the strictly-greater-than-$1 rule is what keeps it in and would drop any model at exactly $1. aimap.page
