Estimate · cohere-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.85 chars/token Auto-counts as you type

This is a chars-per-token approximation, not a real tokenizer. Actual tokens vary by language, code density, and tool-call overhead — counts are typically ±10–20% off for English prose, more for code or non-Latin scripts. For exact billing, use the vendor's official tokenizer.

Frequently asked.

Practical Command R+ pricing questions, with published token rates kept separate from Cohere's enterprise-priced Command A generation.

Q · 01 What is Command R+ priced at? +
The command-r-plus-08-2024 version is listed at $2.50/M input and $10/M output on Cohere's official pricing page, verified 2026-07-11. The earlier command-r-plus-04-2024 was $3/M / $15/M.
Q · 02 How much does Cohere Command A cost? +
Cohere does not publish a per-token price for its current-generation Command A models (Command A, Command A+, Command A Reasoning, Command A Vision). Their pricing page routes these to enterprise contact sales, and AWS Bedrock now offers the Command family only as provisioned throughput (hourly), not per-token. Command R+ at $2.50/$10 is the most capable Cohere model with a public per-token rate.
Q · 03 Is prompt caching priced separately? +
No separate cache-read rate is published for Command R+. AI//COST keeps cached input equal to the base input price, $2.50/M, instead of inventing a discount.
Q · 04 How is the effective price calculated? +
The effective tile uses the standard 92/8 input-output agentic blend. With no published cache discount, the token-only blended price is $3.10/M.
Q · 05 Which API model ID should I use? +
Use command-r-plus-08-2024 for the current $2.50/$10 rate. Re-verify against Cohere's model catalogue before pinning a production integration.
