# Pricing for agents

> Public model prices as a compact Markdown table for agents and exports: every catalog model across the realtime, flex, and batch windows.

Source: https://sference.com/docs/pricing-for-agents

Use this table to read or compare sference's public list prices without parsing the visual [Pricing](https://sference.com/docs/pricing) page. All amounts are **USD per 1M tokens**. Model ids are case-sensitive.

This table contains the same models and rates as [Pricing](https://sference.com/docs/pricing), covering **realtime**, **flex**, and **batch**. Hidden and restricted models are excluded. Both tables are generated from the same public catalog; this is not a live quote or a feed of organization-specific rates.

## Read or export

No API key is required. Open this page as Markdown, or read the live catalog:

```bash
# This page as Markdown
curl https://sference.com/docs/pricing-for-agents.md

# The authoritative live catalog (requires a key)
curl https://api.sference.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SFERENCE_API_KEY"
```

The Markdown table is the published export. Any JSON or CSV you ask an agent to produce is a conversion of that table, not a separate API response.

## Public rates

Each row identifies a model and a completion window. **Input** is uncached input; **cached input** is input served from the prompt cache; **output** includes generated reasoning tokens. See [Processing modes](https://sference.com/docs/api/responses#processing-modes) for scheduling behavior.

| Model ID | Window | Input | Cached input | Output |
| - | - | -: | -: | -: |
| `Cloudflare/clef` | realtime | 0.24 | — | 0.00 |
| `Cloudflare/clef` | flex | 0.168 | — | 0.00 |

| `zai-org/GLM-5.2` | batch | 0.60 | 0.13 | 2.10 |
| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash` | realtime | 0.50 | 0.05 | 1.50 |
| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash` | flex | 0.35 | 0.035 | 1.05 |
| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash` | batch | 0.25 | 0.025 | 0.75 |
| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731` | realtime | 0.28 | 0.07 | 0.56 |
| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731` | flex | 0.196 | 0.049 | 0.392 |
| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731` | batch | 0.14 | 0.035 | 0.28 |

| `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash` | batch | 0.14 | 0.035 | 0.28 |
| `zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash` | realtime | 0.20 | 0.07 | 0.60 |
| `zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash` | flex | 0.14 | 0.049 | 0.42 |
| `zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash` | batch | 0.10 | 0.035 | 0.30 |

## Window factors

| Window | Factor | How to select |
| - | -: | - |
| realtime | 1.0 × | default on `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/messages`, blocking `/v1/responses` |
| flex | 0.7 × | `service_tier: "flex"` on `/v1/chat/completions` or `/v1/responses` |
| batch | 0.5 × | `background: true`, batches, or streams with `completion_window: "24h"` |

Flex and batch stack: a batch request with `service_tier: "flex"` bills at **0.35 ×** list.

## Notes for automated comparison

- **Units are USD per 1M tokens.** Do not rescale.
- **`—` in cached input** means the model has no prompt-cache rate; cached input is not billed separately for that model.
- **`Cloudflare/clef` has no output charge** (0.00). It is a decisions model and bills on input only.
- **Aliases bill at the rate of the model they resolve to.** `zai-org/GLM-5.2` resolves to `zai-org/GLM-5.3`; `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash` resolves to `deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731`. See [Models](https://sference.com/docs/models#aliases-and-retirement).
- **Deprecated models are excluded** from this table. They remain callable at their existing rates.
- **No cache-write charge.** Unlike some providers, there is no premium for writing into the prompt cache, and no TTL-dependent rate.
- **Rejected requests are free.** A `max_queue_wait_exceeded` rejection or a `408` on flex is not billed.

## Verify against the live catalog

Rates change. Before quoting these numbers to a user, confirm against the API:

```bash
curl -s https://api.sference.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SFERENCE_API_KEY" \
  | jq '.data[] | {id, pricing}'
```
