Questions about Cohere rates
Do these Cohere figures include discounts and tax?
No. They are public list rates. Commits, credits, regions, tax, and commercial discounts are not in the number — check the source linked on each model.
When is the more expensive Cohere tier worth the extra?
Command A sits near $4.75 per 1M tokens on a 70/30 mix, versus $0.39 on Command Light. Use the high tier when retries or long reasoning actually fail on the cheap one.
