Q: Why do reasoning models cost more for the same task?

Reasoning (thinking) tokens are billed as output tokens even though you never see them. On some tasks a model thinks for thousands of tokens before a short answer, which can multiply the cost.

Q: How is the cost calculated?

100 short support tickets labeled as billing, bug, how-to, account or feature-request. We send the same prompt (983 words of input) to every measured model through OpenRouter with default settings and record the input, output and reasoning tokens it uses.

Between 0.06¢ (GPT-6 Luna) and 11¢ (Qwen3.8 Max Prime) among popular models. The median across all 336 models is 0.68¢.
