FROM SPECIFICATIONS TO YOUR WORK

Is this the right model for your job?

Start with a realistic sample. These workflows match the model’s listed capabilities, not a verified result on your task.

What would it cost?

Pick a common job and how many times a month you run it. Token sizes are our assumption for a typical run, shown under the result.

Working out the cost...

Token prices only. Per-request, image, tool, storage and subscription fees are not included. One token is about three quarters of an English word. Real counts vary by model and language. How tokens are counted ↗

Check the source

Price date: 10 Nov 2026, from OpenRouter models API. Prices are USD API token rates. Your app subscription, uploads, browsing and tools are separate.
