Cohere API pricing

20 Cohere models: text, embeddings, rerank, document ocr, from price book 2026-10-22.

Billing rules Veqen applies

  • Token models: cached input at the cache-read rate, cache writes at the write rate; batch and service tiers at their own rates where published; long-context rates once the full prompt passes the threshold.
  • Rerank models: per query.

Also recognized as: cohere_chat (framework, gateway and OpenTelemetry names).

Reconcile your bill

Cohere doesn't offer a cost API, so Veqen's ledger is your running record of spend. Enter each month's bill to reconcile it and book it in the close. How reconciliation works.

Prices come from Cohere's pricing page. Negotiated rates or committed-use discounts can be set as custom prices.
