Claude Fable 5.1 pricing

Claude Fable 5.1 pricing is per token: $10 / M input · $50 / M output. Output tokens cost 5× input tokens, so long generations, not long prompts, are what actually drive most bills. A typical call with a 2k-token prompt and a 1k-token answer costs about $0.0700.

Every call is metered exactly and attributed to your key, the dashboard, the API usage response, and your invoice all read from the same ledger row. Cap any key's monthly spend with a budget cap, and bring your own provider key (BYOK) at 0% platform fee if you already have a direct contract.
