Documents
A 50-page document translated in full — the rare job where output tokens outweigh input.
Pricing verified:
Between $0.0017 and $0.212 per run, depending on the model. That is a 123× spread for the same job.
50 pages of dense prose at ~500 words per page ≈ 32,500 input tokens. Translated output runs roughly 10% longer than the source in most European language pairs ≈ 36,000 output tokens.
Cost = (input tokens ÷ 1M × input price) + (output tokens ÷ 1M × output price). Prices come from our daily-verified model data. Batch and cached-input discounts are not applied — they only ever make these numbers smaller.

“Needs chunking” means the model's context window can't hold this job in a single pass, so the real cost is higher than the figure shown and quality usually suffers.
Translation is the one common task where you pay full output rates on the entire document, and output tokens are typically 3–5× the price of input. That inverts the usual ranking: models that look cheap on input-heavy work can be the expensive option here.
$0.0017 on Mistral: Mistral Nemo, the cheapest capable option, rising to $0.212 on Claude Sonnet 5 at the top end. GPT-5.6 Luna is the value pick at $0.025 per run. The job is priced at 32,500 input and 36,000 output tokens — see the working below.
50 pages of dense prose at ~500 words per page ≈ 32,500 input tokens. Translated output runs roughly 10% longer than the source in most European language pairs ≈ 36,000 output tokens.
$0.069 a month on Mistral: Mistral Nemo, $0.994 on GPT-5.6 Luna, and $8.50 on Claude Sonnet 5. Batch APIs typically halve these figures for work that can wait, and prompt caching cuts the input side further when the same context is reused.
