How the rate card works
What the calculator is modeling
APIs bill by the token, about 4 characters, or about three-quarters of an English word. You pay separately for input (prompt, system text, documents) and output (the reply). Almost every provider charges more for output.
Levers that move a bill
- Model choice. Claude Fable 5 lists at $10 / $50 per million. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite lists at $0.25 / $1.50.
- Prompt caching. Repeated prefixes are often billed near 10% of the input rate on OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The cache slider models that.
- Batch. Non-urgent work can run at half price where the provider lists a batch API. The monthly tab says so on the row.
- Self-hosting. A rented GPU costs the same whether it is busy. The self-host tab shows a floor, and it tells you when one box cannot reach the break-even volume.
A worked example
1,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens, on GPT-5.6 Sol at $4 in / $20 out per million: input is $0.004; output is $0.010. The call is $0.014. Output is three-quarters of that call. The full walk-through is on the rate card page.
Questions
Straight answers
Is the calculator free?
Yes. No signup and no paywall on this site. The paid offers are First Deploy AI, consult time, and the live apps listed on the page.
How current are the model prices?
They were read from official provider pages in September 2026: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, and Mistral. Providers change rates. Confirm before you buy volume.
What does GPT-5.6 Sol cost?
OpenAI’s short-context list price on this card is $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output, with cached input at $0.40. Terra is $2 / $12. Luna is $0.20 / $1.20. Sol’s promotional framing on OpenAI’s page runs at least through 21 November 2026.
What is a blended rate?
Blended on this card is a 3:1 input-to-output mix: three parts input price plus one part output price, divided by four. It is a fast way to rank models on mixed work, not a quote for your exact prompt.
Does the batch discount apply to every model?
No. The monthly tab applies a 50% batch rate only where this card marks the model as listing a batch API. Grok and DeepSeek rows stay at list price when the batch box is checked.
What is First Deploy, exactly?
The after-hours desk and live apps for field operators. $1,750 setup, live this week on a written plan, then $250/month. Half the setup ($875) can start the job. Details live on firstdeploy.ai.
How does consult billing work?
Book a free 30-minute qualifier. After that: $75 per 30 minutes, $150 per hour, or a 10-hour pack at $1,250 with $625 due up front. Stripe links are on this page and on firstdeploy.ai/consult.
Do you name customers?
No. The public proof line is live apps in production for field operators.
