Quick answer
When last verified on 2026-09-20, TypeSafe listed Jev 1.13 at $0.042 per million input tokens ($42 per billion) with output tokens free. Rate limits and enterprise tiers can change. Use the cost calculator for workload estimates.
Jev pricing is easy to misquote. This page only repeats figures that appear in a source, and it dates them.

The same rates feed the Jev Cost Calculator. They live in src/lib/pricing.ts, not in scattered page copy.
What you actually pay for
You pay for tokens in state plus tokens in questions. Official docs emphasize that extra questions are cheap relative to repeating the state. A cookbook on TypeSafe's site reports large savings from batching many questions in one call. That speed/cost multiple is a vendor cookbook result, not an independent test.
Rate limits (not the same as price)
Official models page when last verified:
- 250,000 tokens per second
- 1,200 requests per minute
TypeSafe says limits are adjusting dynamically. Crossing either limit returns 429.
Other cost paths
A third-party article reported the same $0.042 / million input price on Vercel AI Gateway under typesafe-ai/jev. We have not independently confirmed Gateway billing in this project. Check Vercel's current table if that is your path.
Enterprise and custom limits: official docs point to sales@typesafe.ai.
Worked estimate
100,000 requests/month, 400 input tokens of state, 3 questions ≈ 40 tokens each:
- tokens / request ≈ 520
- monthly tokens ≈ 52,000,000
- monthly cost ≈ 52 × $0.042 = $2.18
This uses the published input rate and an assumed 40 tokens per question. Real usage comes from the usage object on each response.
When Jev pricing looks attractive
High-volume classification, routing, and filtering where an LLM would burn output tokens to emit JSON.
When it does not matter
If you make a few hundred calls a day, engineering time dominates. If you need generated text anyway, Jev does not replace that bill.
Common mistakes
- Hardcoding
$0.042in five files. Use one config. - Forgetting that aliases can change behavior without changing the price row.
- Comparing Jev's input price to an LLM's input price and ignoring that the LLM also bills output.
See the API for usage fields and the changelog when TypeSafe updates the models page.
