Official price vs gateway price
| Where | Input / 1M | Output / 1M |
|---|---|---|
| Official API | $2 | $8 |
GPT-4.1 is priced above at the official list rate. We have not found a gateway that sells it cheaper with a verifiable public price, so no gateway row is shown — we never estimate one.

Frequently asked questions
How much does GPT-4.1 cost per month?
It depends entirely on token volume. As worked examples: a chat assistant doing 10,000 calls a month costs $80.00, while a document pipeline doing 1,000 long calls costs $116.00. Use the calculator on this page with your own numbers for an exact figure. Prices are official rates verified 2026-10-26.
Is GPT-4.1 cheaper than GPT-6 Luna?
At a blended workload of 1M input and 250K output tokens, GPT-4.1 costs $4.00 and GPT-6 Luna costs $0.225 — so GPT-6 Luna is cheaper at this mix. The answer can flip if your workload is mostly output or mostly cached input.
Does GPT-4.1 have batch or caching discounts?
Yes — batch processing is $1 / $4 per 1M tokens. Cached input is billed at $0.5 per 1M tokens. Prices verified 2026-10-26. We do not invent unpublished rates.
Are these official prices or gateway prices?
GPT-4.1 on this page uses official OpenAI API prices from the provider's public pricing page. Gateway reseller rates, when shown elsewhere on the site, are labeled separately.
