Command R+ API Pricing

Legacy: Cohere's pricing page now prints this rate only under legacy models, “for existing customers”. Command R+ is Cohere's larger Command model for complex RAG, multi-step tool use, and enterprise generation. The official pricing page lists $2.50/M input and $10/M output for the command-r-plus-08-2024 version. Cohere's newer Command A generation is enterprise-priced and has no public per-token rate.

Command R+ token counter and cost.

What's a token →
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.

Command R+ API pricing FAQ.

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 pricing page, which as of October 28, 2026 prints it only in the legacy-models answer headed “For existing customers”; the current model cards are Command A+, Command R and Command R7B. 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). Its pricing page shows Command A+ as a free Apache 2.0 download with no per-token row, 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, though Cohere now sells it to existing customers only.
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.
