CLAUDE OPUS 5.5 VS GPT-5.6

Anthropic vs OpenAI, in USD per million tokens, cross-checked daily against the public pricing dataset. Same jobs, both meters running.

THE VERDICT

1.0x

Effectively a tie: for the same job (a 1,000-token prompt with a 3,000-token reply), Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-5.6 bill within 5% of each other. Pick on quality, latency or taste — price won't settle this one.

Output sizes use the same editorial ratios as the Burn Calculator. Estimates, not invoices — and price is not a benchmark: the cheaper model is only a bargain if it does the job.
