$0.0002 for one request, and $0.01 a day at 50 requests a day.
Show the maths
New input: 1,000 tokens × $0.15 per million = $0.0002
Output: 400 tokens × $0.15 per million = $0.00006
1,500 requests a month × $0.0002 = $0.31
Caching half the input would save about $0.10 a month
That uses the published cache-read price of $0.02 per million tokens. It assumes half of these input tokens are already in a cache. Writing the cache can cost extra, and that write price is not included.
Batch processing would save about $0.16 a month
Mistral says batch processing is half price. Batch jobs are slower, and they suit work that can wait.
Ministral 3 3B would cost about $0.10 less a month
It is a cheaper model in the same broad class on this price list. It is still a different model, and the replies will not match.
A reply half as long would save about $0.04 a month
Output tokens are often the expensive part. Asking for a shorter answer cuts that cost directly.
Cached prices here are read prices. Writing a cache can cost extra, and that write price is on the provider’s page, not in this total. A US-only endpoint is 1.1× at some providers and is not included. Fast modes are not included.
