Current catalog
Current GPT API model prices
Rates are first-party USD list prices per one million tokens. Current models are ordered by catalog relevance, not by price alone. Marketplace-only prices are excluded so they cannot be mistaken for the model creator's API rate.

How to compare GPT API costs
02
Choose a model for the capability you need, then compare the cost of the same token workload instead of headline rates alone.
03
Confirm cached-input, batch, fine-tuning, and tool charges on OpenAI's official pricing page before budgeting production traffic.
Questions
GPT API pricing FAQ
How is OpenAI API usage priced?
Text-model usage is generally priced separately for input and output tokens. Some models or service modes may add cached-input, batch, tool, or fine-tuning charges.
Does this page replace OpenAI's official pricing documentation?
No. LLM Cost provides a comparison and workload estimator. Confirm final purchasing decisions against OpenAI's official pricing page.
