Quick start
Call GPT 5.4 with the OpenAI Python SDK:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-5.4",
max_tokens=2000,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.0313 per call at standard rates
# Input: $2.50/MTok
# Output: $15.00/MTokHow GPT 5.4 compares on cost

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.
For GPT 5.4 specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $15.00 vs $2.50 per MTok. At this use case’s 500/2,000 token split, output accounts for 96% of the $0.0313 per-call cost.

Standard token rates
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $2.50 | 500 |
| Output | $15.00 | 2,000 |
Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens
Caching drops input cost from $2.50 to $0.25/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.001125 per call.
Batch API: 50% off all tokens
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.

Frequently asked questions
How much does GPT 5.4 cost for copywriting per API call?
A typical copywriting call using GPT 5.4 costs about $0.0313 per call. This estimate uses 500 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $2.50 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens.
Is GPT 5.4 the best model for copywriting?
GPT 5.4 scores 78 out of 100 on copywriting benchmarks overall. It ranks #5 across all 20 models in our cross-provider registry. The highest-ranked model for this task is Claude Fable 5 from Claude. That model scores 95/100 on this task type. Confidence scores are a third-party benchmark snapshot from week 29 of 2026. This snapshot is 8 weeks old, so treat the scores as directional and validate against your own evals.
What is the cheapest model for copywriting with good quality?
The most affordable model for copywriting above 80/100 quality is Claude Sonnet 5. It comes from Claude at $2.00 per million input tokens. Output costs $10.00 per million tokens with a quality score of 87/100. Switching from GPT 5.4 to Claude Sonnet 5 saves about 33% per API call.
How can I reduce my GPT 5.4 costs for copywriting?
Three strategies lower GPT 5.4 costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 90% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.0313 to about $0.001563 per call.
How does GPT 5.4 pricing compare to other GPT models?
GPT has 4 other models alongside GPT 5.4 today: GPT 5.5 at $5.00/$30.00 per million tokens (flagship), GPT 5.6 Sol at $4.00/$20.00 per million tokens (flagship), GPT 5.6 Terra at $2.00/$12.00 per million tokens (mid-tier), GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens (fast / budget). The right choice depends on whether your copywriting workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.
What context window does GPT 5.4 support?
GPT 5.4 supports a context window of 1,050K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For copywriting, typical calls use 500 input and 2,000 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
