Vercel AI Gateway cost questions

How is Vercel AI Gateway billed?

Vercel AI Gateway is pay-as-you-go and billed per token: you pay for input tokens (your prompt and context) and output tokens (the response) separately, priced per million tokens. There is no monthly base fee for the API itself.

Why is my Vercel AI Gateway bill higher than expected?

The per-unit rate is only one of the four numbers that set your bill. The others are how much your app uses Vercel AI Gateway, how often, and across how many users. Long prompts, retries, multi-step agents, and uncached repeated context all multiply the rate. PrePrice models that usage from your code so the number is real, not a guess.

Where do these Vercel AI Gateway prices come from?

From Vercel AI Gateway's official pricing page (vercel.com), verified June 14, 2026 and re-checked on a schedule. Pricing changes often, so confirm the live rate before you commit.
