Compare source-tracked Cohere Command A, Command R, and Command R+ API pricing, context limits, and snapshot-specific price changes.
Cohere bills hosted production API usage by input and output tokens. Product names and timestamped API model IDs should both be verified before deployment.
Example cost uses 1,000,000 input tokens and 300,000 output tokens at each model's default tracked rate, with no cache discount.
| Model | Input price | Cached input | Output price | Context | Example cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Command R 08-2024 Stable | $0.15 / 1M | Not tracked | $0.60 / 1M | 128K tokens | $0.33 |
| Command R+ 08-2024 Stable | $2.50 / 1M | Not tracked | $10.00 / 1M | 128K tokens | $5.50 |
| Command A Stable | $2.50 / 1M | Not tracked | $10.00 / 1M | 256K tokens | $5.50 |
Cost boundary: this example compares token charges only. It does not assume equal output quality, latency, retry rates, or output length across models.
Verified changes for exact models and pricing profiles available through this provider. New model generations are not treated as price changes.

Cohere lists Command R 08-2024 at $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.60 per 1M output tokens on its hosted API.
No. Cohere uses timestamped API model IDs. StackLens shows the transition explicitly and does not hide the snapshot change behind a generic model name.
No. Cohere's current model documentation recommends evaluating Command A for most new use cases while continuing to list the August 2024 Command R models as live.
