This page lists token-based pricing for the developer API. Consumer app subscriptions are billed separately.
Output length changes the cost mix
The published default schedule has different input, output and cached-input rates. The two examples keep output at 500 tokens to isolate input length; real retries and longer answers increase cost. No cache-write price is inferred when it is absent from the published schedule.
Illustrative token counts, not measured lengths of the request example. USD at current default-group rates, 500 output tokens, no cache hits or writes. Each request uses its applicable tier; character count is not token count.
| Input tokens | Output tokens | Estimated USD |
|---|---|---|
| 2,000 | 500 | $0.00039 |
| 20,000 | 500 | $0.00215 |
