AI BriefingAnalysis of Ollama Cloud Price Increase
Key point
Ollama Cloud's September 1 pricing change has increased the effective cost for new subscribers and switching users by up to 6.7 times.
Details
Ollama Cloud changed its pricing model from GPU-time-based billing to token-based billing starting September 1, resulting in a measured increase in effective usage costs of 2.9x to 6.7x.
Existing Pro plan users can retain their current terms, but new subscribers or users switching plans must consume $60 in monthly credits on a per-token basis. According to measurements by community user u/Flaky-Maybe-7556, the cost per input and output token for major models such as GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek v4 Pro has become approximately 9 to 20 times more expensive compared to before.
The cost changes for major models are as follows:
- GLM-5.2: Approximately 6.5x more expensive for input misses and approximately 6.7x more expensive for output
- DeepSeek v4 Pro: Approximately 2.9x more expensive for input misses and approximately 3.3x more expensive for output
This change is the result of a transition from GPU-time-based billing to a published token unit price-based billing system, as explained by Ollama.
