Prices are in USD. A call is one endpoint execution (a Run). A task may use several calls.
“Catalog rate” is the listed call price; usage-based totals depend on inputs and options. “Up to” is the maximum total charge for that call. Result and token rates use their stated units.
Open an endpoint for its pricing rules, including charges for no match or errors.
