Your usage
💡 A RAG chatbot prompt averages 2K–10K input tokens per call; 50M tokens/mo ≈ 5K–25K calls
💡 Chat replies run 200–2K tokens; agentic runs can produce 5–20× more output
💡 Embedding bills only input tokens; indexing a 100K-doc corpus once is tens of millions of tokens
💡 One rerank query = one search (up to 100 docs); RAG apps often rerank on every user query

Cohere pricing — frequently asked questions
How much does Cohere's Command API cost? ▼
Command A costs $2.50 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens with a 256K context window. Command R costs $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output tokens with a 128K context window. Command R7B costs $0.0375 per million input and $0.15 per million output — the lowest-cost option in the Command family.
Does Cohere have a free tier? ▼
Yes. Cohere offers a free trial API tier with rate-limited access to all endpoints — no credit card required. Trial accounts have lower requests-per-minute limits but can access Command, Embed, and Rerank APIs for testing and prototyping.
How does Cohere Rerank pricing work? ▼
Cohere Rerank is billed at $2 per 1,000 queries (i.e., $0.002 per rerank call), regardless of how many documents are in the candidate set. This per-query billing maps directly to application events rather than raw token consumption, making cost forecasting straightforward for RAG pipelines.
Can I run Cohere models privately on my own cloud? ▼
Yes. Cohere's defining differentiator is private deployment — models can be deployed on AWS Bedrock, Azure AI, Google Vertex AI, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or on-premises. Enterprise private-deployment contracts are sales-led and custom-priced based on usage commitments.
Is this Cohere pricing calculator free and accurate? ▼
Yes — it's completely free with no signup. It uses the latest publicly available Cohere pricing (verified May 2026). Actual costs may vary with volume discounts or enterprise terms — always confirm on Cohere's official pricing page.
