Places and scores from the public Text leaderboard, read 2026-11-04; each price is your month on that model.

How many tokens is my text?

About 4 characters, or three quarters of an English word, make a token: 1,000 tokens are about 750 words, a page and a half. In Chinese, Japanese and Korean about one character is a token. Each maker counts a little differently.

Or a Claude plan?

Claude Sonnet 5.5 on the API costs $88.00 a month as you work here. Claude’s own plans charge a flat price a month instead, with usage limits:

  • Pro$20 a month · $17 a month billed yearly
  • Max$100 a month · 5× Pro’s usage · $100 of API credits a month
  • Ultra$200 a month · 10× Pro’s usage · no five-hour limit · $200 of API credits a month

Cheaper than $88.00 on the API: Pro ($20), if the plan’s limits hold your work (they reset every five hours and every week). Plans from claude.com/pricing, read 2026-11-09; prices before tax.

List prices in US$ from each maker’s own page (fal’s for Kling 3.0 Pro and Standard, FLUX.2 pro and FLUX schnell, Together’s for Llama), read 2026-09-29 to 2026-11-04: text per million tokens, then a picture, a second of video, 1,000 characters read aloud and a minute transcribed. The models are the makers’ current ones and the best-ranked of each kind. Past a model’s long-prompt line (OpenAI’s GPT-6 models at 272K tokens, Gemini 3.1 Pro’s and xAI’s at 200K, Claude Haiku 5.5’s at 100K, MiniMax M3’s at 512K) the whole request costs the higher price its row names, and its row shows it; a session longer than a model’s context window has no price on it. ERNIE’s are Baidu’s 32K to 128K tier; DeepSeek’s are its peak-hour prices, half that off-peak. Thinking (reasoning) tokens are billed at the output price. Writing a cached part costs more than reading it: 1.25 times the input price at Anthropic and on OpenAI’s GPT-6 models, counted as many times a day as the cache-writes field says, and once for the context each coding call adds; Google’s hourly storage for a cache is not counted. A guide, not a bill. Price pages: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax, Alibaba, Meta, Z.ai, Mistral, Xiaomi, Baidu, Cohere, ByteDance, Black Forest Labs, Ideogram, Kuaishou, ElevenLabs, Microsoft, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Groq, Together.

Questions

What does a month of Claude Sonnet 5.5 cost?

About $88.00 at list prices, for 20 sessions a day over 22 days, each reading 80,000 tokens and writing 4,000.

How much does prompt caching save?

On those numbers, caching the 60% of what each session reads that repeats saves about $37.59 a month. That is after writing it to the cache, which costs more than reading it, as many times a day as you set.

What do shorter answers and a cheaper model save?

Answers 25% shorter save about $4.40 more, and moving 30% of sessions to Claude Haiku 5.5 saves $12.24. That leaves about $33.77 a month.

Which model costs least for that month?

Of the 37 text models listed, the cheapest for that month is GPT-6 Luna or Claude Haiku 5.5, about $4.40, and the dearest GPT-6 Astra or Claude Fable 5.1, about $440.00. The compare table lists every one, cheapest first.

What do code, research, pictures, video and voice add?

On the page’s starting numbers, code adds $39.78 (10 sessions a day on Claude Sonnet 5.5), research $4.00 (20 tasks), pictures $10.60 (100 kept on GPT Image 2 (Square, medium), 2 made for each), video $16.22 (10 clips of 8 seconds on Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash (720p), 2 takes each), voice $0.45 (30 minutes read aloud on OpenAI TTS) and transcription $1.35 (300 minutes on GPT Transcribe). With the text, the month comes to about $160.40.

What does $1 make?

At list prices, $1 makes about 18 pictures on GPT Image 2 (Square, medium), 9 seconds of video on Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash (720p), 66.6 minutes of speech on OpenAI TTS, or 5 sessions on Claude Sonnet 5.5 (each reading 80,000 tokens and writing 4,000). Each tab’s table shows it for every model.
