About Claude API pricing
Claude API pricing is set by Anthropic 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 Anthropic documentation and updated when Claude announces pricing changes. Check the official Claude pricing page for the most current rates.
