The per-token price never tells the full story. A typical task (1K input + 500 output tokens) on GPT-5.5 costs about $0.0200 — roughly $20.00 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.

Cached input$0.5 / 1M tokens

Cached input tokens are billed when caching is enabled.

What that means in practice

1x One typical task (1K input + 500 output tokens): $0.0200
1K 1,000 runs of that task: $20.00
💡 Real cost depends on how verbose the model is on YOUR prompts — benchmark to measure actual tokens, not estimates.
