Solar Pro 4 API Pricing

Solar Pro 4 is Upstage's agentic flagship, built for tool calling, terminal tasks and long-document reasoning. The list price is $0.30/M input, $0.06/M cached input and $1.20/M output — but Upstage is running 90% off until September 10, 2026 (UTC), so today you are charged $0.03 / $0.006 / $0.12, with standard pricing resuming September 11. We store the list rate, because that is what you will pay once the discount lapses; size your budget on the figures in the tiles, not the ones on your invoice this month.

§ 01 / TERMINAL

Run the numbers.

Calculator pre-loaded with Solar Pro 4's LIST rates — what you pay from September 11, 2026. While the launch discount runs, divide every result by ten. Solar Pro 4 reasons by default and its reasoning tokens are billed as output, so a task that thinks hard costs more than its visible answer suggests.

Estimate · solar-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.8 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.

Solar Pro 4 pricing questions, with the list price kept apart from what the discount charges today.

Q · 01 How much does Solar Pro 4 cost? +
List price is $0.30/M input, $0.06/M cached input and $1.20/M output. Upstage is running a launch discount of 90% until September 10, 2026 (UTC), so the rate charged today is $0.03 / $0.006 / $0.12. Standard pricing applies from September 11.
Q · 02 Why do you show the higher price? +
Because it is the one you will still be paying after the discount ends, and a budget built on a temporary rate breaks the moment it lapses. Our catalogue stores list prices throughout so models stay comparable — the discounted figure is shown beside every tile rather than hidden, and it is what your invoice reflects this month.
Q · 03 Are reasoning tokens billed separately? +
No, but they are billed. Upstage's docs state Solar Pro 4 "performs reasoning by default" and count reasoning tokens inside usage.completion_tokens, which means they bill at the output rate. Check usage.completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens to see how much of a bill is thinking rather than answer.
Q · 04 What context window does it have? +
Upstage does not publish one on any first-party page we could find on August 16, 2026 — not on the pricing page and not in the API docs. We would rather show nothing than copy a figure from an aggregator, so this page states no context window until Upstage publishes one.
Q · 05 Is the API hard to migrate to? +
It is OpenAI-compatible. Point the OpenAI SDK at https://api.upstage.ai/v1 and pass solar-pro4 as the model. The alias currently resolves to the dated build solar-pro4-260806. Published rate limits are 100 requests/min and 50,000 tokens/min.
