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 o3-pro good for?
Difficult problems where reliability per request outweighs cost: OpenAI says the high-compute variant of o3 spends more compute for consistent answers.
When is o3-pro not a good fit?
High-volume work: it sits near the top of OpenAI's price range. No code execution or file input, and OpenAI plans to shut it down in December 2026.
What is the cheapest way to run o3-pro?
The cheapest hosted rate is $20.00 / $80.00 per 1M tokens via OpenAI.
How does o3-pro compare with o1-pro?
OpenAI says o3-pro is to o3 what o1-pro was to o1: it spends more compute to think longer and give more reliable answers, can search the web, run Python and analyze files as it reasons, and beat o1-pro in OpenAI's own evaluations. Same 200K-token context and text and image input. o3-pro lists at 87% less per 1M input tokens and 87% less per 1M output tokens than o1-pro. It came out 3 months later and has a newer knowledge cutoff (June 2024 against October 2023).
Can I self-host o3-pro?
No. OpenAI does not publish the weights; o3-pro is available only through hosted APIs.
