OpenAI pricing questions

How much does the OpenAI API cost?
OpenAI pricing runs from free to $150.00 per 1M input tokens depending on the model. o1-pro costs $150.00 per 1M input and $600.00 per 1M output tokens.
What is the cheapest OpenAI model?
omni-moderation-latest is the cheapest OpenAI model we track, at free per 1M input tokens and not published per 1M output tokens.
Does OpenAI charge less for cached tokens?
Yes. Cached input is billed at a lower rate than fresh input — for gpt-5.6-sol it is $0.500 per 1M versus $5.00, about 90% cheaper. Caching applies to repeated prompt prefixes.
How often is this OpenAI pricing updated?
Every day. Prices are read directly from the published pricing page, normalized to USD per 1,000,000 tokens, and only recorded when a number actually changes — so the history shows real price movements rather than daily noise.
