DeepSeek V4 Pro is ridiculously priced, especially when you take into account caching. According to the DeepSeek usage panel, 50M tokens have cost me $1.38. It's not the smartest and does like to overthink, but if you have well defined problems it's good for coding. Well... except all your data going to China. I just use it for personal projects.
Yup, last month I did ~150mil tokens on DeepSeek v4 Pro for just under $3
Out of interest, are you using the DeepSeek plan?
(I've been using it via OpenRouter and it's much more than that, but still cheap).
I'm not aware of a DeepSeek plan, but I am using the DeepSeek API directly if that's what you mean.
