META API PRICING
A list price you have already seen, and a token appetite you haven't.
Meta entered this board with two models on the same day: Muse Wonder, its first frontier model, the day after launch, and Muse Spark 1.3, the mid tier that had been on sale since September without us tracking it. The price is not the story. At $4 input / $20 output and $0.20 for a cached read, it matches Claude Opus 5.5 to the cent, and from December it will match Gemini 4 Argon too, so for once three vendors are charging the same thing for the same tier. What differs is how many tokens a task takes. The first public benchmark runs hit their weekly Muse Code limits in under 12 hours at low effort, which is a volume problem, not a rate problem, and the only way to see it is cost per task rather than cost per token. Two things are missing on purpose. Muse Wonder Full is subscription-only with no per-token price, and the cheap contributor mode Meta offers on Muse Spark (where you pay with your data) does not exist for Wonder. Meta's page also does not say how reasoning tokens bill, so we show that as not published rather than guess. Spark is where Meta gets unusual. Standard pricing is $1.25 in / $4.25 out, with a cached read at 0.12x input instead of the 0.1x most vendors use. Contributor mode drops it to $0.10 / $0.20 and $0.002 for a cached read, as long as Meta can train on what you send. We list the cash price and keep the data-for-discount one in the note, because a table cell can't show what you are actually paying with.

META CHANGELOG
Muse Spark 1.3 joins the board at $1.25 in / $4.25 out per MTok. Meta also sells it at $0.10 / $0.20 if you let them train on your data. We list the cash price; the other one is in the note.
Muse Wonder, Meta's first frontier model, joins the board at $4 in / $20 out per MTok. That's Opus 5.5 to the cent, cache reads included. If it burns through your limits faster, blame token count, not the rate.
