# Pricing

> OverControl API usage is priced by model and token usage.

Prices are calculated separately for input, cached input, and output tokens.

<Note>
  Every new OverControl API account includes free quota to test the API before adding credit.
</Note>

<Note>
  All prices below are per **1 million tokens (MTok)**.

## How token pricing works

Your API cost depends on the number and type of tokens processed.

* Input tokens are the tokens sent to the model, including instructions, messages, and other request context.
* Cached input tokens are reusable input tokens served at the model's lower cached-input rate.
* Output tokens are the tokens generated by the model in its response.

Your total request cost is the sum of these three components.

```text theme={null}
cost =
  (input tokens / 1,000,000 × input price)
+ (cached input tokens / 1,000,000 × cached input price)
+ (output tokens / 1,000,000 × output price)
```

***

## Example

Suppose a request to Lume 3 uses:

* 100,000 input tokens;
* no cached input;
* 10,000 output tokens.

Using EUR pricing:

```text theme={null}
Input
100,000 / 1,000,000 × €0.30 = €0.030

Output
10,000 / 1,000,000 × €1.50 = €0.015

Total
€0.030 + €0.015 = €0.045

The request would cost €0.045.
```

<Tip>
  For high-volume applications, model choice and cached input can have a significant effect on total API cost.
</Tip>

## Choose the right model

Pricing is only one part of model selection.

For most applications, start with Lume 3 and evaluate other models when you need greater capability, lower cost, or multimodal support.
