How much does GPT-5 Pro cost?

GPT-5 Pro costs $15.00 per million input tokens and $120 per million output tokens, using the list price from OpenAI as of 26 Oct 2026. That is about $7.50 for 100 chats of about 1,000 tokens in and 500 tokens back. Confirm on the maker's site before you buy, because prices change.

What is the context window of GPT-5 Pro?

GPT-5 Pro has a context window of 400K tokens, roughly 300,000 words of text read at once. A single answer can be up to 272K tokens long.

Is GPT-5 Pro open source?

We list GPT-5 Pro as closed: it is used through its maker's apps or API and its weights are not published (Epoch AI lists its access as "API access").

How good is GPT-5 Pro compared with other AI models?

On the Epoch Capabilities Index, GPT-5 Pro scores 150.6 (likely range 148.9 to 154.2), which ranks 56 of 270 models we track. Scores close together are a tie in practice.

How does GPT-5 Pro compare with Inkling-Small?

On quality, neither model leads clearly across the 3 measures both have. 1 measure is too close to call. Inkling-Small costs about 98% less than GPT-5 Pro on a blended price of $0.66 against $41.25 per million tokens. See the full comparison for every measure.

How current are these numbers for GPT-5 Pro?

The newest data on this page is dated 26 Oct 2026. Scores come from Epoch AI and Arena, prices from the open LiteLLM price list.

What it costs in everyday terms

List prices turned into amounts you can picture. Real bills depend on how you use it.

100 chats: $7.50; Cost of 100 chats assumes each chat sends 1,000 tokens (about 750 words) and gets 500 tokens (about 375 words) back.
A 300-page book: $1.50; Cost to read a 300-page book assumes about 100,000 input tokens and no reply. A real book varies with page size and language.
Blended price: $41.25 per 1M; Three parts input to one part output. Our own calculation for comparing models.
