How much does copywriting cost?
Compare 14 AI models for copywriting. Prices shown at 10K calls/month with default token counts.
Creative writing tasks generate long-form content from a brief input prompt. Output tokens far exceed input, making output pricing the primary cost driver here. Longer articles and stories increase per-call cost because of higher output volume.
What drives copywriting cost
Creative generation is output-dominated: a one-line brief produces paragraphs. Output rate is the number to compare, and the gap between tiers widens with length. Brand voice guidelines and examples are resent on every call and never change, which makes them the obvious candidate for caching.
