cost at a typical workload
$1,500 / mo

For 1,500 input + 500 output tokens across 200,000 requests/month. That's 172× the cheapest tracked option (Mistral Nemo, $8.70/mo).

Where it fits

  • Multimodal prompts — accepts image input alongside text.

Watch for

  • Priced from OpenRouter's routed market, not a first-party list price — availability and rate can shift without notice.

These notes are derived from price, context and modality — structural facts, not measured quality. Measured cost-to-finish-a-task lives on the real-cost index.

How to read Pareto's pricing

Two numbers decide most of the bill: $2.50/1M for input (everything you send — prompt, context, attachments) and $7.50/1M for output (everything it generates, including hidden reasoning tokens). Output is priced 3.0× the input rate here, so the shape of your workload — how much it reads versus writes — matters as much as the headline figure. This row is OpenRouter's routed market price; it can move as providers and routing change.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Pareto cost per million tokens?

Pareto is priced at $2.50 per 1M input tokens and $7.50 per 1M output tokens, from OpenRouter's routed market price as of the 2026-09-19 snapshot. Output is the figure that usually drives the bill. Enter your own token volumes in the cost calculator for a monthly estimate.

What is Pareto's context window?

Pareto has a 262K-token context window — roughly 393 pages of text. Prompt, attachments, conversation and the model's own output all share that budget, and every token you send is billed at the input rate.
