Pricing

CompactifAI offers simple, transparent pay-as-you-go pricing for our API services.

Our pricing is based on tokens processed through the API. We charge separately for:

  • Input tokens: Text sent to the API
  • Cached input tokens: Input tokens served from the prompt cache, billed at a reduced rate (see Prompt Caching)
  • Output tokens: Text generated by the API

A token represents approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words in English.

Model Input (per 1M tokens) Cached input (per 1M tokens) Output (per 1M tokens)
carina-60b $0.05 - $0.20
qwen-3-8-27b $0.40 - $2.00
glm-5-2 $1.10 $0.22 $3.50
glm-5-3 $1.10 $0.22 $3.50
quasar-2-358b - - -

A dash (-) means prompt caching is not enabled for that model, so all input tokens are billed at the standard input rate.

Cached input tokens are a subset of a request’s input tokens: the cached portion is billed at the cached rate and the remainder at the standard input rate.

Usage with glm-5-3: 1M input tokens, of which 800K are served from the cache, + 100K output tokens
Cost calculation:
- 200K non-cached input tokens × $1.10 per 1M = $0.22
- 800K cached input tokens × $0.22 per 1M = $0.176
- 100K output tokens × $3.50 per 1M = $0.35
Total cost: $0.746
Model Price (per audio minute) Billing Granularity
cai-whisper-large-v3-turbo-slim $0,000134 Per-second billing with 1-minute minimum
  • Pay only for what you use
  • No monthly commitments or minimum fees
  • Billing based on actual token usage
Usage: 5M input tokens + 2M output tokens with carina-60b
Cost calculation:
- 5M input tokens × $0.05 = $0.25
- 2M output tokens × $0.20 = $0.40
Total cost: $0.65
