HostGator: AI Models and Credit Pricing
Every model available through the HostGator AI Gateway draws from the same AI Credits wallet, but different models cost different amounts of credits to use. This article lists every supported model, grouped by provider, along with its credit cost per 1 million tokens. For an overview of how AI Credits work in general, see Understanding AI Credits.
How to read this table: All costs below are shown in credits per 1 million tokens, at the rate you're actually billed.
- Input is the cost of tokens you send to the model.
- Output is the cost of tokens the model generates in response.
- Cache Write applies when a model writes context to cache for reuse.
- Cached Input is the discounted rate for tokens read from cache instead of processed fresh.
Not every model supports caching — where a column shows a dash, that pricing tier doesn't apply to that model.
Pricing is subject to change. The rates below reflect current pricing at the time of writing. For the most up-to-date pricing, check the AI Tooling tab in your Customer Portal.
