rekaai · Budget price tier · Reka Edge License · released 2026-03. Prices in USD per 1 million tokens. Data snapshot: 2026-11-12.

Reka Edge has held the same list price since 2026-08-15 and is the 13th cheapest of 160 models in the Budget price tier. Only one host, Reka, sells it, so there is no second price to shop. No Arena score is published for it, so it carries no Efficiency score and cannot hold the FinOps Friendly badge.

Market position
On blended price ($0.10 per 1M tokens at 30% input, 70% output) it is cheaper than 91% of models in the Budget price tier: 13th cheapest of 160, tied with 3 others. Across every price tier it is cheaper than 95% of priced text models in the catalogue: 13th cheapest of 303, tied with 3 others. No Arena score has been published for Reka Edge, so this page does not rank it on quality and OptimNow's quality bars do not apply to it. 77 of the 160 models we list in the Budget price tier carry one. An unranked model is unmeasured, not poor: the benchmark needs votes, and a recent release has not had time to collect them.
Licence, size and capabilities
Reka Edge is open weights, which is not the same as open source: the weights are published, but under Reka Edge License, a licence that restricts some uses. Read it before self-hosting commercially. Its published size is 7B parameters. Listed capabilities: Text, Vision, Agents. Filling its 16K context window once costs $0.0016 in input tokens at list price.
Pricing by host
A host is a company that runs the model and sells it by the token: the model maker, a cloud platform like Amazon Bedrock, Azure or Vertex, or an independent host. One model, several hosts, and often several prices. This model is sold by 1 host. The price we quote elsewhere on this page is marked. We quote one host's rate so that models stay comparable; it is not a recommendation to buy there.
Reka is the only host with a published rate, $0.10 input / $0.10 output per 1M tokens, which is the price we quote.
| Host | Input $/1M | Output $/1M |
|---|---|---|
| Reka (model maker, price we quote) | $0.10 | $0.10 |

Monthly cost at 100K requests, by business use case

These are list prices. Your real cost also depends on caching and batching, negotiated discounts, marketplace agreements, and the contracts you already have. OptimNow audits exactly that.
