Editorial by LLMap · updated Aug 3, 2026Our take
DeepSeek is a narrow, self-hosted inference provider that carries only its own V4 series models at aggressive prices. It is a budget option if you accept that prompts are used for training, but its compliance and data governance are largely undocumented.
Use this for budget inference on DeepSeek V4 Flash when you accept prompt training. Pick it when you need DeepSeek's own models and no third-party host carries them. Skip it if your data must not be used for model training, or if you need verified compliance credentials, an EU endpoint, or a broad model catalogue.
Strengths
- Lowest price for DeepSeek V4 Flash in this catalogue, with a 74 TPS variant at the same price as the 61 TPS one.
- V4 Pro offered at roughly 3.1× the Flash price, giving a clear upgrade path within the same family.
Trade-offs
- Prompts are used for training: this is confirmed, not merely claimed.
- Extremely thin model catalogue — only 3 tracked offers, all from a single model family.
- Compliance and data governance are largely undocumented: SOC 2, EU endpoint, zero-retention option, and headquarters country are all unverified in our data.

The colour says whether the answer favours you, not whether it is a yes — not training on your prompts earns a green cross, no zero-retention option earns a red one.
