Is Claude 4.7 Opus or GPT-5 cheaper?

For a typical request (10,000 input + 2,000 output tokens), GPT-5 is cheaper — about 89% less, or roughly $26750 saved per 100,000 requests. Claude 4.7 Opus runs $15/$75 per 1M input/output tokens; GPT-5 runs $1.25/$10.

Which has the larger context window?

GPT-5, at 400,000 tokens versus 200,000.

How accurate are these token counts?

Claude 4.7 Opus: Approximated with cl100k_base — drift typically <2% on English and code. GPT-5: Exact tokenization via the canonical OpenAI vocab (o200k_base). The dollar math itself is exact once the token count is known.

Claude 4.7 Opus vs GPT-5: pricing & cost comparison

On input tokens, GPT-5 is the cheaper of the two — 92% less per million ($15 vs $1.25). On output, GPT-5 is 87% cheaper ($75 vs $10) — and since output is usually the dominant cost driver, that gap matters more than it looks.

Which should you pick?

These are different vendors, so a switch means a different API and a slightly different tokenizer — budget a small calibration buffer. GPT-5 give exact counts; the others land within a few percent. See the full breakdown on the dedicated pages for Claude 4.7 Opus and GPT-5.
