How Command R7B pricing works

Command R7B is billed per token: a lower input price of $0.037 per million tokens for everything you send, and a higher output price of $0.150 per million for everything the model generates. To turn that into a real Command R7B bill, multiply by your monthly request volume and average prompt/response length — the calculator above does exactly that.

Command R7B does not list a separate cached-input rate, so every input token bills at $0.037 per million. If repeated context is a big part of your prompts, a model with prompt caching may end up cheaper in practice.

List prices move fast — always confirm the current numbers on the official Cohere pricing page before relying on them for budgeting.
