Quick Answer
Multipliers are an industry-standard way to calculate pricing. If you don’t want to deal with multipliers, simply check the Price column in the model list. We charge in USD. View all model prices: Model Pricing Pricing Strategy
| Model Type | Pricing Rule | Discounts |
|---|
| Text / Multimodal LLMs | Same as official pricing | Top-up bonuses + Group discounts |
| Image / Video models | Per-call pricing, special rates | See Model Pricing |
Text model discounts come in two forms: top-up bonus promotions (extra credits when recharging) and group discounts (e.g., domestic models in a separate group with 0.88x discount).
Text Model Billing
Cost per call = Input Tokens × Input price + Output Tokens × Output price
For detailed billing information, see Pricing.
Basic Concepts
Two key terms to understand:
| System Term | Meaning |
|---|
| Prompt | Input Tokens |
| Completion | Output Tokens |
Multiplier Calculation Rules
Multipliers are relative values used to derive actual prices:
- Prompt Multiplier × 2 = Input price (USD / million Tokens)
- Completion Multiplier = Output price ÷ Input price (i.e., how many times the output costs compared to input)
Example Calculation
Using claude-opus-4-6 as an example:
| Item | Multiplier | Calculation | Final Price |
|---|
| Input | Prompt multiplier 2.5 | 2.5 × 2 = 5 | $5 / million Tokens |
| Output | Completion multiplier 5 | 5 × 5 (input price) = 25 | $25 / million Tokens |
Image / Video Model Billing
Image and video models use per-call pricing, with special discounted rates for some models. Check the Model Pricing page in your dashboard for specific prices.
