Reka API Pricing (November 2026)
Reka API prices run from $0.10 to $0.20 per million tokens across 2 current models. The cheapest is Reka Edge at $0.10 input and $0.10 output per million tokens. The flagship, Reka Flash 3, costs $0.10 input and $0.20 output per million tokens. Every rate below was read on Reka's own pricing page, on the date shown in its row.

US dollars per million tokens, list rates on Reka's own API. Cache read is the price of a cached input token. Batch is the asynchronous API, where the vendor offers one. The date in each row is when we last read it on the vendor's pricing page; it links to that page.
Reka API monthly cost estimates
What light use (10M input + 2M output tokens a month), medium use (100M input + 20M output tokens a month), heavy use (1B input + 200M output tokens a month) costs on each current model, at list price with no caching and no batch discount.
| Model | Input / output per 1M | Light · 10M + 2M | Medium · 100M + 20M | Heavy · 1B + 200M |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reka Edge | $0.10 / $0.10 | $1.20 | $12.00 | $120 |
| Reka Flash 3 | $0.10 / $0.20 | $1.40 | $14.00 | $140 |
Prompt caching and the Batch API cut these figures; the next sections show by how much. For your own token counts, use the LLM API cost calculator.
Reka API price history
Reka API price changes and releases
Model launches, open-weight releases and the move to the Reka Gateway, dated from Reka's own news page and its Hugging Face organisation.
reka-edge-2603) released for physical-AI work, with image and video input and open weights on Hugging Facereka-flash-3api.reka.ai/v1 — OpenAI-compatible chat completions, tool calling, streaming and batch inference. You pay per token at each model's catalog rate; Reka Flash 3 and Reka Edge are the two Reka models on it.
SUBSCRIPTIONA monthly subscription that buys more inference credit than it costs, spendable across the Gateway's supported models including both Reka models. It is prepaid credit, not a different token rate, so the prices on this page still apply to what you spend it on.
DEDICATEDDedicated capacity billed by GPU time rather than by token, plus fine-tuning on your own data. Reka publishes no per-token equivalent, so these meters are outside this hub.
OPEN WEIGHTSRekaAI/reka-flash-3 (Apache-2.0) and RekaAI/reka-edge-2603 — run either model on your own hardware and replace the token price with your GPU cost.
PRICINGInput, output and cache-read rates for every chat model on the Gateway. The cache column is blank for both Reka models.
Mistral AI
The closest like-for-like: small open-weight models with a paid API beside them. Mistral's catalog is far larger and multilingual, where Reka Flash 3 is primarily English.
OPEN-WEIGHTAlibaba (Qwen)
Qwen's small open models are among the ones Reka itself now hosts on the Gateway — buying them from Alibaba directly is the comparison to make before choosing either.
OPEN-WEIGHTDeepSeek
DeepSeek's Flash models are on Reka's Gateway and in Reka Pass too. DeepSeek's own API is the price reference for them; Reka's pitch is hosting them on GPUs it operates, with prompts and outputs not stored.
GLM ARCHITECTZhipu (Z.ai / GLM)
The Beijing lab behind the GLM models, also operating internationally as Z.ai. Spun out of Tsinghua University in 2019, Zhipu ships strong coding/agentic models, multiple free tiers, and open weights — and was the first of China's "Six Tigers" to pursue an IPO. It also sits on the US Entity List.
OPENAI APIOpenAI
The lab behind ChatGPT and the GPT family. Founded as a nonprofit in 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman and others; restructured into a capped-profit LLC in 2019 and finally into a public-benefit corporation on October 28, 2025. Ships the largest commercial model lineup, the largest consumer AI product, and — after the April 2026 funding round — the highest-valued private AI company in history at ~$852B.
CLAUDE APIAnthropic
The AI safety-focused lab behind Claude. Founded by ex-OpenAI researchers in 2021, it ships frontier-grade reasoning models through an API that does not retain prompts by default, and publishes a Responsible Scaling Policy, now in version 3.0.

Reka was founded in 2022 by Dani Yogatama, Cyprien de Masson d'Autume, Mikel Artetxe, Qi Liu and Yi Tay, and describes itself as a model builder focused on multimodality and efficiency. Its first API lineup, priced on docs.reka.ai, was Reka Core, Reka Flash and Reka Edge.
The lineup has since been replaced. Reka Flash 3, a 21B reasoning model, shipped with Apache-2.0 weights in March 2025, and Reka Edge (reka-edge-2603) followed in March 2026 for physical-AI work with image and video input. Between August and October 2026 Reka moved its prices to a model catalog on developer.reka.ai and rebuilt the API as the Reka Gateway, which also serves open models from GLM, Qwen and DeepSeek on Reka's own GPUs. Reka Core and Reka Flash are absent from it; their pages here keep the last prices Reka published.
On price, Reka Flash 3 lists at $0.10 input and $0.20 output per 1M tokens and Reka Edge at $0.10 and $0.10. Neither has a cache-read rate. The other labs' models on the Gateway carry Reka's prices, not their makers', and are tracked on those makers' own hubs.
