* Some models use tiered pricing based on prompt length. Displayed prices are for prompts ≤ 200k tokens.

What does "cost per token" mean?

Tokens are the basic units that AI models use to process text. Generally, 1,000 tokens ≈ ~750 words. The cost per token determines how much you pay for each unit of text processed by the model.

Formula: Total Cost = (tokens / 1,000) × price per 1K tokens

Examples

Example usage: A 500-word prompt + 300-word response ≈ ~1,067 tokens total.

  • • 1,000 tokens ≈ ~750 words of text
  • • Short email: ~200-400 tokens
  • • Blog post: ~1,000-3,000 tokens
  • • Research paper: ~10,000+ tokens
