Compare the announced Haiku and Opus API rates, context-dependent Haiku pricing and suggested evaluation tasks without treating benchmarks as your result.
GUIDE · SOURCES REVIEWED
Haiku 5.5 and Opus 5.5 are different members of Anthropic's Claude family. The Haiku announcement emphasizes narrow, high-volume work; the Opus announcement emphasizes complex coding and knowledge work. Choose a task and billing route before comparing headline prices.
Announced API token prices
USD per million tokens, checked October 30, 2026:
| Model / prompt length | Input | Output | Cache read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haiku 5.5, up to 100,000 prompt tokens | $0.10 | $0.50 | $0.01 |
| Haiku 5.5, over 100,000 prompt tokens | $0.50 | $2.50 | $0.05 |
| Opus 5.5 | $4.00 | $20.00 | $0.20 |
The announcements also describe cache-write and other billing details. The table is not an all-in project quote: request length, caching, generated tokens, retries and provider terms affect the bill. Claude app-plan allowances and direct API charges are separate access questions.
Compare by the work completed
| Trial task | What to measure |
|---|---|
| Classify a small batch of known examples | Correct labels and costly mistakes |
| Summarize a document | Coverage and support for each important claim |
| Make a repository change | Behavior, tests and necessary corrections |
Use the same inputs and acceptance criteria, retain the exact model and settings, and count the total cost to reach an acceptable result. A lower per-token rate does not guarantee a lower cost per finished task; a larger model's benchmark score does not establish a benefit on every small task.
The launch posts report provider benchmarks and customer experiences. Varwo has not reproduced those evaluations or run paid requests. For product-plan context, see Claude; for an external coding subscription, compare the separate OpenCode Go route.
