AI token price & real cost for content

The price of 1 million input/output tokens for each AI tool (in VND) plus how much content 1M tokens produces — so content/SEO teams can budget.

AI token price & real cost for content

A token is how AI models charge. The tool shows the price of 1 million tokens for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini in VND and converts it into articles/words. For Vietnamese especially: one word can split into 3–4 tokens, so 1M tokens yields fewer words than in English — which is why the AI cost of Vietnamese content is often underestimated.

Frequently asked questions

What is a token?

A token is the unit of text a model processes — roughly 1 token ≈ 0.75 English words. Both the text you send (input) and what the model returns (output) are billed; output is usually several times more expensive.

How much is 1 million tokens in VND?

It depends on the model: from a few thousand VND for lightweight models to hundreds of thousands for flagships. The tool shows the exact VND figure per tool, updated to 2026 pricing.

Why do Vietnamese tokens cost more?

Tokenizers are English-trained, so Vietnamese fragments into more tokens (a word can become 3–4 tokens). The same article in Vietnamese burns ~1.5–2× the tokens of English.

Input vs output tokens — what is the difference?

Input is your prompt and reference material; output is what the AI generates. Output typically costs 3–5× input, so longer articles cost more — controlling length matters more than trimming the prompt.

Cheap content is only half the job. The other half is getting cited by AI — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — when buyers ask. Measure your brand’s GEO/AIO visibility.
