Key factors that affect your AI API costs
Most LLM APIs charge based on the number of tokens processed. A token is roughly 4 characters or 0.75 words in English.
Output tokens typically cost more than input tokens. This is because generating text requires more computational resources.
Flagship models offer better quality but cost more. Efficient models provide good value for simpler tasks at lower prices.
Larger context windows allow more input but may cost more. Choose based on your application's needs for conversation history.
Optimize costs by using efficient models for simple tasks, caching responses, and minimizing unnecessary output tokens.
Many providers offer volume discounts for high-usage customers. Contact providers directly for enterprise pricing.
