Gemma 4 26B API pricing: 16 providers compared

Where we are not the cheapest, the table says so: 1 provider charges less than Synap for input (PrimeIntellect); 3 providers charge less for output (Darkbloom, Makora, PrimeIntellect). Sorted by input price, then output. One row per provider: its cheapest listed endpoint for google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it. Other providers' prices are their public list prices as reported by the OpenRouter endpoints API; Synap's are read from /v1/models, which is what the gateway bills.
