Calculating the cost of generating content using AI isn't always straightforward. OpenAI charges based on tokens- small chunks of text roughly equivalent to 0.75 words. This tool simplifies the math for you.
Model Selection: Different models (like GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, or GPT-5 nano) have vastly different price points. We use the latest pricing per million tokens.
Input vs. Output: Costs are split between the "context" you send (input) and the content the AI generates (output). Our calculator accounts for average context sizes per content type.
Processing Mode: "Instant" uses standard API calls, while "Eco Mode" leverages OpenAI's Batch API for a 50% discount on token costs.
For agencies and ecommerce teams running bulk operations, AI costs can scale quickly. Knowing your "per-unit" cost is essential for:
Determine exactly how much it will cost to generate descriptions for 5,000 new SKUs before you start.
Avoid "AI taxes" from third-party tools that mark up token prices by 30-50%.
Compare the efficiency of flagship models vs. mini models for different content quality requirements.
See how costs break down for common ecommerce and agency projects.
Generating optimized titles, bullet points, and descriptions (approx 300 words each) using GPT-5 mini.
Generating high-quality, 1,500-word SEO articles using GPT-5 flagship intelligence.
Translating short product attributes and tags into 5 languages using Eco Mode and GPT-5 nano.
GPT-5 is OpenAI's flagship model with the highest intelligence, best for complex reasoning and creative writing. GPT-5 mini is a faster, significantly cheaper model that is excellent for high-volume tasks like product descriptions and classification.
OpenAI prices tokens per 1 million units. For example, GPT-5 mini costs $0.25 per 1M input tokens and $2.00 per 1M output tokens. Our calculator uses these exact rates to provide your estimate.
Yes, by using the Batch API (what we call "Eco Mode"). This allows you to send large volumes of requests that OpenAI processes within 24 hours at a 50% discount compared to instant requests.
No. Our Zero Markup Policy means you use your own OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly at cost. We provide the infrastructure; you keep the savings.
