client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4.1-mini",
max_tokens=3000,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.005120 per call at standard rates

Cheapest viable option: Claude Sonnet 5 at $0.0316/call (-517% less, 87/100 quality).
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 GPT 4.1 Mini specifically, that means output tokens cost 4.0x more than input, at $1.60 vs $0.40 per MTok. At this use case’s 800/3,000 token split, output accounts for 94% of the $0.005120 per-call cost.

Standard token rates
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.40 | 800 |
| Output | $1.60 | 3,000 |
Prompt caching: 75% off input tokens
Caching drops input cost from $0.40 to $0.10/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000240 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.
