How this price is scoped: Sakana AI Token Plan (pay-as-you-go) list price, per 1M tokens, flat at any context length — the card states 'Fixed rates regardless of context length', unlike the context-tiered Fugu Ultra. web_search and web_fetch tool calls are billed separately at $0.007 per call and are not part of the per-token rate. The monthly subscription tiers (Standard $20, Pro $100, Max $200) bundle usage allowances rather than per-token rates and are not the list price. Sakana states the service is not offered to users in EU or EEA member states.
