AI API prices per million tokens
Input and output token prices of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral and DeepSeek models, converted at the ČNB rate, with a calculator: how much X messages a month cost, and when a subscription is cheaper.
Prices from official price lists, converted at the Czech National Bank rate of 02/10/2026. We check the price lists every week; a person confirms every change.
How much do I pay for the API?
Enter how many messages you send a month. A typical message is 1 500 tokens in (your question with context) and 600 tokens out (about 1 100 and 450 words). The table converts at the ČNB rate and compares with each provider's cheapest paid subscription.
