Is OpenAI Deep Research API good value?

How its price compares with genuinely comparable providers.

Below the comparable median

Below the comparable median for its buyer tier.

Basis: same-tier-tier plans in the niche, any billing unit (1 provider), USD monthly, pricing observed 2026-10-27. The per token plan ($0.1/mo) sits 98.8% below that median of $8. Thin evidence: fewer than five comparable providers, so treat the position as indicative. Other cohorts on this page (niche-wide tier peers, nearest products by capability) are labelled where they appear.
