Compare a concrete token workload
For 500,000 uncached input tokens, 500,000 cached input tokens and 1 million output tokens, GLM 5.3 costs $4.85 with PAYG, or uses 18M points on a Coding Plan. Cached input is already part of the 1 million total input tokens.
The same workload on GLM 5.3 Flash costs $0.54 with PAYG, or uses 2M plan points. Compare the costs with your actual input/output mix, then evaluate results on your own task.
These are cost estimates from the published rates. Plan points count toward both allowance windows. See the Billing basics or estimate your workload.
