How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Common questions

What is GPT-4 Turbo good for?

Apps built on the GPT-4 generation that need more context than the original GPT-4, with image input and tool calling. OpenAI now recommends newer models such as GPT-4o.

When is GPT-4 Turbo not a good fit?

Long single responses, since its maximum output is short, and structured output or hosted tools, which it lacks. It sits high in OpenAI's price range, and OpenAI plans to shut down the API model in October 2026.

What is the cheapest way to run GPT-4 Turbo?

The cheapest hosted rate is $10.00 / $30.00 per 1M tokens via OpenAI.

How does GPT-4 Turbo compare with GPT-4?

OpenAI calls GPT-4 Turbo the next generation of GPT-4, designed as a cheaper, more capable version of that model. GPT-4 Turbo lists at 67% less per 1M input tokens and 50% less per 1M output tokens than GPT-4. It came out 13 months later, has a larger context (128K against 8K tokens) and a smaller max output (4K against 8K tokens) and takes image input, which GPT-4 does not.

Can I self-host GPT-4 Turbo?

No. OpenAI does not publish the weights; GPT-4 Turbo is available only through hosted APIs.
