How much does sentiment analysis cost?
Compare 14 AI models for sentiment analysis. Prices shown at 10K calls/month with default token counts.
Classification tasks assign labels or categories to input text with minimal output. These are the most token-efficient task type across all major AI providers. Input stays short, and output is typically a single label or confidence score.
What drives sentiment analysis cost
Short text in, a label or score out: the cheapest shape an API call can take. Output pricing is irrelevant at this size. Because these run in bulk over historical data as often as in real time, the batch API discount typically applies, and the effective rate lands well below list.
