DeepSeek V4 Pro vs GPT-4o Mini: how do structured-extraction API costs compare?
Compare verified pricing and model limits for cost-aware structured extraction across DeepSeek and OpenAI. The cost example uses a structured data extraction workload and does not assume equal model quality.
Direct cost answer: deepseek-v4-pro is estimated at $174.36 per month and GPT-4o mini at $82.50 for 4,000 input tokens, 500 output tokens, and 100,000 monthly requests. GPT-4o mini is $91.86 lower under these assumptions. This does not identify a quality winner.

Questions to answer before choosing
- Which model produces fewer invalid structured outputs?
- How does cache behavior change DeepSeek input cost?
- Do deployment requirements favor either provider?
What this estimate leaves out
Document parsing, OCR, validation infrastructure, and failed-record handling are outside this token estimate.
Latency, reliability, output quality, retries, regional processing, and provider-specific tool charges can change the practical decision.
