What requests cost on GPT-5 Pro
The same four requests on every page, so you can compare models directly.
| Request | Tokens in / out | Per request | Per 10,000 requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| A support chat reply | 1,500 / 300 | $0.059 | $585 |
| Summarizing a 10-page document | 6,000 / 500 | $0.15 | $1,500 |
| Sorting a support ticket into a category | 400 / 5 | $0.0066 | $66.00 |
| A question about a 120-page document | 60,000 / 800 | $0.996 | $9,960 |
OpenAI's cheapest model here, GPT-5 nano, costs 100% less for the same chat reply. Whether it is good enough depends on the request: simple ones (sorting, short summaries, extraction) often are, hard reasoning often isn't.

Paying GPT-5 Pro prices for every request?
Most apps send simple requests to the same strong model as the hard ones. PromptUnit checks each request your app sends and uses a cheaper model only when it is just as good for that request. You pay 20% of what it saves, and nothing if it saves nothing.
Checked October 14, 2026. Prices are read every day from OpenAI's pricing page. Context window, inputs and release date come from OpenRouter's public model list.
These are the standard list prices on each provider's own API. Batch, flex and priority tiers, cloud platforms such as Amazon Bedrock or Google Vertex AI, and regional endpoints are priced differently. Request costs above count input and output tokens only, not cache, search or image fees.
