Jev pricing calculator: how much does Jev cost?
An independent calculator. Jev charges $0.042 per million input tokens and nothing for output. The calculator also works out what really decides the bill: batching, rate limits and the context budget.
Example: Support triage — 100K items/day, 500-token state, 4 questions each, at $0.042 per 1M input tokens with output free, plus the ~260 tokens every request is measured to bill. Use your numbers

What $5 of credit covers
Hypothetical creditThe September 2026 $5 credit report is historical, not a current offer, reported by VentureBeat; TypeSafe’s docs do not state it. Is Jev free, and is there a subscription?
Fan-out saving: one call, many questions
Unique to this calculatorJev reads the state once and answers every question against it in parallel. Ask your 4 questions in one request and you pay for the item’s tokens once. Ask them in separate requests and you pay for them 4 times.
Jev price: official check 17 October 2026. Billing overhead/token estimates: historical OpenRouter Jev 1.13, 23 September 2026; not retested for 1.14 or long context. Comparison base token prices: official sources checked 17 October 2026; other tiers and long-context rates can differ. The $5 credit is a hypothetical amount based on historical reporting, not a current offer.
Throughput
Limits are per organization. Enter your console quotas. This is an ideal rate-ceiling estimate; latency and retries add time.
Throughput unknown until both positive organization quotas are entered.
Default context budget
64,000 tokens per request in total, and 32,000 for the state plus the single longest question in default mode. Direct long context requires an explicit header; OpenRouter has route-specific long-context handling. Mode details.
Fits. At this state size you could pack up to 1,058 questions into one call.
Same workload on an LLM
Both sides answer all 4 questions for an item in one call, so this is a like-for-like comparison. The LLM additionally pays for 50 output tokens per item. Every rate is editable.

Jev’s rate and limits come from docs.typesafe.ai/models, checked 2026-10-17. Jev figures include the ~260 tokens each request is measured to bill; LLM figures count your content only, with no system prompt or schema, so they are a floor. LLM rates are list prices at standard tier and exclude prompt caching, batch discounts and negotiated terms. This compares price only, never accuracy — whether Jev is accurate enough for your task is something to measure on your own labelled data.

Seen a different number? Published figures for Jev’s input price disagree by a factor of 10.0. $0.042 per 1M and $42 per 1B are the same correct number; $0.42 per 1M is10.0 times too high. Which figure is right, and what the error costs.
Is Jev free? The $5 credit, billing and subscriptions
Is there a free tier?
Historical credit report (September 2026, not a current offer): accounts opened while signup was open got $5 of credit, which at $0.042 per 1M buys about 119M input tokens. On the calculator’s default support-triage workload that is about 476.2K answered questions, or 1.2 days at 100K tickets a day.
Is there a subscription or monthly plan?
The models page publishes a token rate, not a subscription price. TypeSafe lists one price, per input token, and nothing per request. Its models page says higher rate limits are available on custom and enterprise plans through sales; it publishes no price for them.
Does output use up the credit?
No. Output tokens are free, so only what you send — the state and the question definitions — draws the credit down. That is also why batching questions into one call makes the same credit last several times longer.
Direct signup: check the console
Historical status: TypeSafe announced a signup pause on 22 September 2026, citing demand, two days after opening them on 20 September 2026; existing console.typesafe.ai accounts were unaffected at the time. Current direct availability is not reverified. OpenRouter serves Jev at the same $0.042 per 1M with no waitlist and no TypeSafe account, and publishes 262,144 tokens of context for 1.13 and 1.14 . See every route to Jev.

Three things that move your Jev bill more than the rate does
1. How you batch
Jev reads the state once and answers every question against it in parallel. Four questions in one call pays for the item once. Four separate calls pays for it four times, for the same answers. See the fan-out maths.
2. Which limit binds
Tokens/sec and requests/sec are separate organization quotas. Enter both and choose a token-counting assumption to estimate which limit binds. Work out which one you hit.
3. Output tokens
An LLM that reasons before answering can spend more on output than input. Jev has no output bill at all, which is where most of the gap comes from. Compare against a specific model.

Jev pricing questions
How much does Jev cost?
Jev 1.13 costs $0.042 per million input tokens, which is $42 per billion. Output tokens are free and there is no per-request fee, so your bill is purely a function of how much state and how many question definitions you send.
How much does one Jev API request cost?
About $0.000042 for a typical request: a 500-token text with four short questions bills roughly 1,000 input tokens, including the ~260-token overhead every request carries, and 1,000 tokens at $0.042 per million is $0.000042. That is $42 per million such requests. A request costs its billed input tokens times $0.042 per million, with no per-request fee and nothing for output. Billing/token/answer observations refer to Jev 1.13 (jev-1.13-20260917) via OpenRouter on 23 September 2026; they were not retested for 1.14 or long context.
Is Jev free?
A September 2026 VentureBeat report described $5 signup credit. That is historical reporting, not a verified current offer. At $0.042 per million, $5 would cover about 119 million input tokens; under our historical Jev 1.13 overhead assumption this is about 476,000 decisions on the default workload.
Can I still sign up for Jev?
Check TypeSafe’s console for current direct signup availability. The pause announced on 22 September 2026 is historical and has not been reverified. OpenRouter documents access without a TypeSafe account and publishes 262,144-token context for Jev 1.13 and 1.14.
Does Jev have a subscription or monthly plan?
The models page publishes a token rate and unpriced custom/enterprise limits, not subscription terms. TypeSafe charges one price per input token with no per-request fee. Its models page says higher rate limits are available on custom and enterprise plans through sales, but it publishes no price for those plans.
Are Jev's output tokens really free?
Yes. TypeSafe bills input tokens only. Responses still report usage.output_tokens so you can see them, but they are not charged. This is why Jev's advantage grows against any LLM that reasons out loud before answering.
Is it cheaper to ask several questions in one Jev call?
Almost always. Jev ingests the state once and evaluates every question against it in parallel, so N questions in one call pays for the state — and the fixed per-request overhead — once instead of N times. With a 500-token item and four questions, batching cuts the bill by roughly 70 percent. An independent test of 2,976 billed requests found the answers unchanged. Billing/token/answer observations refer to Jev 1.13 (jev-1.13-20260917) via OpenRouter on 23 September 2026; they were not retested for 1.14 or long context.
Why is my Jev bill higher than my tokens times the price?
Because every Jev request also bills a fixed overhead of about 260 input tokens beyond your state and questions. An independent benchmark of 2,976 requests to jev-1.13 (via OpenRouter, billed at exactly input tokens × $0.042 per million) measured it at 261 tokens per request, and TypeSafe's own API example reports 296 input tokens for a one-sentence state with one question. It matters most for small requests, and it is one more reason to batch questions into one call. Billing/token/answer observations refer to Jev 1.13 (jev-1.13-20260917) via OpenRouter on 23 September 2026; they were not retested for 1.14 or long context.
What are Jev's rate limits?
TypeSafe sets tokens-per-second and requests-per-second quotas per organization. Read your current quotas in the developer console; exceeding either returns HTTP 429. No numeric quota applies universally. Policy checked 17 October 2026 against docs.typesafe.ai/models.
How many Jev requests can I send per second?
Without your organization quotas, throughput is unknown. With both quotas, divide tokens/s by assumed tokens per call and take the smaller of that and requests/s. Whether quota accounting includes the historical ~260-token billing overhead is unverified; choose that assumption explicitly. Billing/token/answer observations refer to Jev 1.13 (jev-1.13-20260917) via OpenRouter on 23 September 2026; they were not retested for 1.14 or long context.
What is Jev's context limit?
For TypeSafe direct Jev 1.13 and 1.14, defaults are 64,000 tokens for state plus all questions and 32,000 for state plus any one question. TypeSafe-Danger-Zone-Long-Context: true raises both to 262k at the same token price but with slower, less accurate results. OpenRouter separately publishes 262,144 and documents automatic long-context handling.
Is Jev cheaper than GPT or Claude?
Under this site's historical September 2026 comparison prices, Jev's estimated token bill is lower for the example classification workloads. Those competitor rates have not been reverified. Enter current vendor prices and your own workload before budgeting; a cheaper token bill does not establish better accuracy.
Where can I call Jev besides the TypeSafe API?
OpenRouter lists typesafe/jev-1.13 and typesafe/jev-1.14 at $0.042 per million input tokens, output free, 262,144-token context. Its ~typesafe/jev-latest alias points to 1.14; TypeSafe direct jev-latest points to 1.13 and jev-preview to 1.14. Other gateway entries are historical snapshots dated 26 September 2026.
Is this the Japanese encephalitis virus?
No. This site is about Jev, the System One decision model from TypeSafe AI. JEV is also an abbreviation for Japanese encephalitis virus, which is a completely unrelated medical topic.
