What will it cost?
Pick a model and describe a typical message. The sums use the live prices on this site, per million tokens.
How the sum is done
Every request is billed in three parts: new prompt tokens at the input price, repeated prompt tokens at the cached price, and the reply at the output price. A message costs the three added together.
What counts as a token
A token is a piece of a word. In English, a thousand tokens is about 750 words. A short chat message is 20 to 50 tokens. A page of text is around 500.
Why the repeat share matters so much
A chat sends the whole conversation again with every new message, and a coding agent resends the same files on every step. That repeated part is billed at the cached price, which is a fraction of the input price. In a long chat or an agent session, well over half the prompt is usually a repeat. Set the share to zero to see the price of a one-off request.
Keeping the bill down
- Pick the smallest model that does the job. The gap between the dearest and cheapest model here is more than twenty times on output.
- Cap the reply length with
max_tokens. Output is the expensive side on every model. - Put a spend cap on each key in the dashboard, so a loop cannot run past a figure you chose.
