Most AI APIs charge per token — a unit of text roughly equal to 4 characters or ¾ of a word. You pay separately for input tokens (your prompt) and output tokens (the model’s response). Prices are typically quoted per 1 million tokens.
The cheapest AI APIs start under $0.10 per million input tokens. DeepSeek, Google Gemini Flash, and several open-source models via Together AI offer the lowest per-token pricing while maintaining competitive quality.
A typical API call uses 200-500 input tokens for the prompt and 100-1,000 output tokens for the response. A full page of text is roughly 750 tokens. Complex tasks like code generation or long-form writing use more tokens.
Yes — several providers offer free tiers. Google Gemini offers generous free API access, and many open-source models can be run locally at zero cost. OpenAI and Anthropic offer free trial credits for new accounts.
Input tokens are what you send to the model (prompts, context, documents). Output tokens are what the model generates. Output tokens typically cost 2-4x more than input tokens because generation requires more compute than processing input.
