ASTRA PRICING TOOL

Estimate what an Astra workload costs.

Use the published rates and see every assumption.

Choose a workflow scenario, model cached context and cache writes, and compare Standard, Batch/Flex, or Fast processing. The estimate covers model tokens only; tools, taxes, retries, and account limits remain visible exclusions.

Use GPT-6 Astra through the route that fits.

Astra is available through multiple documented routes. ChatGPT, Work, Codex, API, Copilot, Foundry, and third-party catalog access each have their own plan, account, client, or provider rules.

A route listing is not a promise that your account, plan, workspace, or region is eligible.

HowToUseAstra does not sell access to Astra. Route listings are editorial and do not promise eligibility, identical product terms, or provider endorsement.

Estimate boundary: rates are from OpenAI’s current GPT-6 Astra model page. Input above 272,000 tokens has different multipliers; tool calls, image inputs, retries, taxes, account-specific limits, and subscription access are outside this estimate.

SCENARIO LIBRARY

Long-horizon context, tools, retries, and cached prefixes change the total.

BEFORE YOU BUDGET

Make the estimate match your workload.

The total changes with cached input, processing mode, quotas, discounts, and how much work happens outside the model.

  1. Use the official rate card.Current list rates are $10/M input, $1/M cached input, $12.50/M cache writes, and $50/M output.
  2. Separate verified from assumed.Use your own workload assumptions, then check product limits in the published OpenAI documentation.
  3. Show caveats beside totals.Do not hide excluded tools, retrieval, taxes, retries, discounts, or rate limits in a footnote.

OWNED OFFER · FIXED-SCOPE REVIEW

Get an Astra Production Readiness Review.

Founding test: $299. For one planned workload, the review includes intake, one 60-minute working session, a written decision memo within two business days, and one 20-minute follow-up. Submit the workload first; if it is a fit, scope, timing, and payment are confirmed before either side commits.

No charge today. Do not submit secrets, source code, customer data, or regulated data. This is independent implementation guidance, not OpenAI sales or endorsement.
