DeepSeek Pro Latest: input price down, output price more than triples
DeepSeek Pro Latest input pricing on OpenRouter has dropped from $0.3498 to $0.26 per 1M tokens. Output pricing has moved the other way, from $1.0494 to $3.5 per 1M tokens. The effective cost now depends heavily on how much the model writes rather than how much it reads.
What it means for a SaaS brand
If you run DeepSeek Pro Latest for AI-search monitoring or content generation, re-check your spend this week: long-form output workloads get materially more expensive, while prompt-heavy jobs such as bulk brand-mention checks across large context get slightly cheaper. Cap output tokens where you can, and move verbose generation tasks to a cheaper model if the quality gap allows.
