| Scenario | Cost | Assumption |
|---|---|---|
RAG answer per 1,000 RAG answers | $0.17 < $0.01 per request | 5K input tokens (query + 4 retrieved chunks of ~1K each) and a 500-token answer. Typical SaaS knowledge-base bot. |
Support ticket triage per 10,000 tickets | $0.33 < $0.01 per request | 1K input tokens (ticket body + system prompt) and a 100-token JSON classification reply. High-volume customer support. |
Data extraction per 1,000 documents | $0.07 < $0.01 per request | 2K input tokens (a single document page) and a 500-token JSON extraction. ETL / invoice / form pipelines. |
Code review per 1,000 PRs | $0.27 < $0.01 per request | 8K input tokens (diff + surrounding files) and a 1K-token review comment. PR-bot workloads. |
Agent step per 1,000 steps | $0.38 < $0.01 per request | 12K input tokens (long-running tool history) and a 600-token tool-call decision. Cost per agent step. |

Frequently asked questions
How much does DeepSeek-OCR cost?
DeepSeek-OCR costs $0.030 per 1M input tokens and $0.030 per 1M output tokens, sourced from novita-ai. Cache reads, audio tokens and >200K-context tiers (where applicable) are listed in the Pricing detail block above.
What is the context window of DeepSeek-OCR?
DeepSeek-OCR has a context window of 8K tokens, with a max output of 8K tokens per reply. This is the total combined size of prompt + completion.
Does DeepSeek-OCR support tool calling?
No. DeepSeek-OCR does not support tool calling (function calling). If your workflow requires it, look at the /capabilities/tool-calling list for alternatives.
Does DeepSeek-OCR support structured output / JSON mode?
Yes. DeepSeek-OCR supports structured output / JSON-schema-constrained decoding. This makes it suitable for production agent and automation workloads where the model has to invoke external functions reliably.
Can DeepSeek-OCR accept image input?
Yes. DeepSeek-OCR accepts both text and image input. Vision pricing per image is usually billed on top of the regular token rate — check novita-ai's docs for the exact rule.
Is DeepSeek-OCR open-weight?
Yes. DeepSeek-OCR's weights are publicly available, so you can self-host or fine-tune. Note that open weights ≠ open source — the training data and code are typically not released.
What are the best alternatives to DeepSeek-OCR?
If DeepSeek-OCR doesn't fit, consider Ling-2.6-1T, Ling-2.6-flash, PaddleOCR-VL. Each one targets the same use case — see the Related links below for direct head-to-head pages.
Where does this data come from?
All numbers come from the public models.dev API and are normalised into a single canonical model record. We re-pull daily and write any changes (price, context, capability) to the /changelog page.
