What drives marketing copy cost

Marketing copy is generated in variants (the same brief producing many versions for testing), so cost scales with variant count rather than brief length. Requesting several variants in one call is markedly cheaper than several calls, because the brief and brand context are sent once instead of repeatedly.

For Claude Opus 4.8 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $25.00 vs $5.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 800/3,000 token split, output accounts for 95% of the $0.0790 per-call cost.
