Pricing

Published prices

Prices apply to the stated unit. Resolution, output length, and provider can change the cost.

API input: $0.06 per 1M tokensSource
API output: $0.23 per 1M tokensSource

Cost example

100 API requests

$0.0175

100 requests with 1,000 input and 500 output tokens each calculate to $0.0175. Input accounts for $0.006; output accounts for $0.0115.

Input price: $0.06 / 1M tokensBase tier for each request
Output price: $0.23 / 1M tokensBase tier for each request

The calculation uses documented token prices and no cache discount. It excludes extra tools, tax, reasoning tokens, and further hidden output tokens.
