OpenAI offers multiple pricing models: free and paid ChatGPT plans for individuals and organizations ($20-30/user/month), and usage-based API pricing for developers charged per token. API costs vary significantly by model (GPT-5, GPT-4, etc.), modality (text, image, audio), and features like fine-tuning or embeddings. Cost optimization strategies include monitoring usage, selecting appropriate models, compressing inputs, using structured response formats, caching results, and batching operations. Pricing tables detail per-million-token costs across text, image, audio, transcription, and generation services.
