How much is 1 million AI tokens? Price by tool

A token is the billing unit of AI models like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. This shows how much 1 million tokens cost per tool and how much text it produces. The figures are budgeting estimates, not an actual invoice.

How much is 1 million AI tokens? Price by tool

Every AI call is billed by token — both what you send in (prompt, documents) and what the AI generates. Output usually costs 3 to 5 times input. The table lists the price of 1M input and output tokens per tool, sorted by price, with a 1M-output-tokens-equals-how-many-articles conversion. Reference prices — check the vendor page before budgeting.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI token?

A token is a chunk of text an AI model processes — roughly 1.33 tokens per English word, 2.2 for Vietnamese. You pay for input tokens (sent to the AI) and output tokens (generated).

How much is 1 million tokens?

It depends on the tool and token type: the table above lists the price of 1M input and output tokens per model (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini). Output always costs more than input.

What can 1 million tokens do?

1M output tokens is about 375 blog posts of 2,000 words, or roughly 752,000 English words. Vietnamese is denser, so it yields fewer words.

Input vs output — what is the difference?

Input is what you send the AI (questions, documents to read); output is what it writes. Generating text costs more compute, so output usually runs 3 to 5 times input.
