The per-token price never tells the full story. A typical task (1K input + 500 output tokens) on GPT-4.1 Mini costs about $0.0012 — roughly $1.20 per 1,000 runs. But if it needs 3x the tokens of a cheaper model to match quality on YOUR task, the economics flip. The only way to know is to benchmark it on your actual workload.

GPT-4.1 Mini API Pricing

TokensPrice
Input$0.4 / 1M tokens
Output$1.6 / 1M tokens
Cached input$0.1 / 1M tokens

Cached input tokens are billed when caching is enabled. Batch API pricing is available for this model at 50%.

What that means in practice

1x One typical task (1K input + 500 output tokens): $0.0012
1K 1,000 runs of that task: $1.20
💡 Real cost depends on how verbose the model is on YOUR prompts — benchmark to measure actual tokens, not estimates.
