API Key Pricing Breakdown

For those who prefer to use their own OpenAI API key:

TL;DR:

It’s about $0.0005 USD for summarizing a 1000-word article.
Meaning you need to summarize ~20 articles of that size to pay 1 cent.

OpenAI API Costs

Currently we utilize GPT-4o-mini model to process requests. Every request will be processed by OpenAI and billed to your OpenAI account.

OpenAI pricing for GPT-4o-mini model:

• $0.00015 per 1,000 input tokens (what you send to the API)
• $0.0006 per 1,000 output tokens (what you receive from the API)
• 1,000 tokens ≈ 750 words

Example Costs

Let’s see how much it costs for a 1000-word article:

• ≈1000 words with system prompts is less than 1500 tokens ≈ $0.0002295 for input
• 500 tokens (hard upper limit for the summary) ≈ $0.0003 for output (maximum)
• Total ≈ $0.0005295 for a 1000-word article

This is what a 1000-word article looks like:

Text in our user manual is about 1300 words. So the price of summarizing the user manual is $0.0006. Which means you need to summarize ~17 pages of that size to pay 1 cent.
