Pricing
FreemiumCohere runs a two-track pricing model. Its public, pay-as-you-go API charges per million tokens: Command R+ costs $2.50 (input) / $10.00 (output), Command R is $0.15/$0.60, and the economical Command R7B is $0.0375/$0.15. Embed v3 is priced at $0.10 per million input tokens, and Rerank v3 costs $2.00 per million tokens of search input processed. Command A, the newer general-purpose flagship, is priced at $2.50 input / $10.00 output per million tokens. Newer top-tier models, including Command A+, Command A Reasoning, Command A Translate, and Command A Vision, do not have public per-token pricing and require contacting Cohere sales; trial API keys for these are capped at 20 requests/minute and 1,000 calls/month. Enterprise and private deployment pricing (VPC, on-premises, or Cohere-managed Model Vault) is fully custom. On AWS Bedrock, Command Provisioned Throughput costs approximately $49.50/hour per model unit, or roughly $29,000/month, a meaningfully higher cost tier than the standard pay-as-you-go API.
FreemiumSaneBox offers a 14-day free trial with premium features. After the trial, users must choose a paid plan. Pricing plans vary based on features and email account limits. Educational, non-profit, and government agencies can get a 25% discount on any plan. See pricing options on their website.

Cohere Pros & Cons
Pros

- Command R7B is one of the cheapest production-grade APIs available at $0.0375 per million input tokens
- North extends the platform from raw model access into a full secure AI workplace product
Cons
- Flagship model pricing (Command A+, Reasoning, Translate, Vision) is not publicly listed, requiring a sales call to get real numbers
- AWS Bedrock Provisioned Throughput for Command runs about $49.50/hour per model unit, roughly $29K/month, a steep jump from pay-as-you-go
- Command A ranks outside the top tier for raw intelligence and agentic benchmarks compared to frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic
- No consumer-facing product means less brand visibility and community momentum than some competitors
- Best value requires committing to the full Embed-Rerank-Command pipeline rather than using Command in isolation
