About ChatGPT API pricing
ChatGPT API pricing is set by OpenAI and billed per million tokens processed. Input tokens (your prompt) and output tokens (the response) are priced separately. Cached input pricing applies when the same context is reused across requests, offering significant savings for repeated prompts.
Prices on this page are sourced from official OpenAI documentation and updated when ChatGPT announces pricing changes. Check the official ChatGPT pricing page for the most current rates.
