It is priced at $1.40 per 1M input tokens and $4.40 per 1M output tokens, ranking 23 out of 64 responses models by cost and cheaper than 64% of models in this category. glm-5.2 supports function calling, reasoning, web search — one of only 4 responses models with this combination. ## Pricing Published Perplexity pricing for glm-5.2. - **$1.40 / 1M tokens Input.** - **$4.40 / 1M tokens Output.** ## Technical Specifications - **Responses Mode.** ## Model Capabilities glm-5.2 supports: Function Calling, Reasoning, Web Search. ## How Pricing Compares At $1.40 per 1M input tokens and $4.40 per 1M output tokens, glm-5.2 ranks 23 out of 64 responses models by input cost. It is more affordable compared to the median of $2.20 for responses models, and is cheaper than 64% of models in this category. glm-5.2 is one of 4 Perplexity responses models, one of only 4 responses models combining function calling, reasoning, web search. | Model | Provider | Input $/1M | Output $/1M | vs glm-5.2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | gpt-5-codex | OpenAI | $1.25 | $10.00 | -11% | | gpt-5.1-codex | OpenAI | $1.25 | $10.00 | -11% | | gpt-5.1-codex-max | OpenAI | $1.25 | $10.00 | -11% | | gpt-5.2-codex | OpenAI | $1.75 | $14.00 | +25% | | gpt-5.3-codex | OpenAI | $1.75 | $14.00 | +25% | ## More from Perplexity - [kimi-k2.7-code ($0.95/1M input)](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity/model/kimi-k2.7-code.md) - [deepseek-v4-flash-0731 ($0.13/1M input)](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity/model/deepseek-v4-flash-0731.md) - [kimi-k3 ($3.00/1M input)](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity/model/kimi-k3.md) ## Related Resources - [Perplexity status](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/provider-status/perplexity.md) - [glm-5.2 specifications](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/model-library/compare/perplexity/glm-5.2.md) - [All Perplexity pricing](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity.md) ## FAQ ### Is glm-5.2 cheaper than gpt-5-codex? No. glm-5.2 costs $1.40 per 1M input tokens while gpt-5-codex costs $1.25 per 1M input tokens, making gpt-5-codex 11% more affordable for input. However, glm-5.2 may offer different capabilities or performance characteristics that justify the price difference. ### How does glm-5.2 pricing compare to the average responses model? glm-5.2 input pricing is $1.40 per 1M tokens, which is 36% below the median of $2.20 for responses models. It ranks 23 out of 64 responses models by input cost, making it cheaper than 64% of models in this category. For output, it costs $4.40 per 1M tokens compared to the median of $14.00. ### What makes glm-5.2 different from other Perplexity models? Among Perplexity's 4 responses models, glm-5.2 ranks 3 by input cost. Its combination of function calling, reasoning, web search is shared by only 3 other responses models. ### What are the best alternatives to glm-5.2? The most comparable responses models to glm-5.2 are: gpt-5-codex from OpenAI ($1.25/1M input tokens); gpt-5.1-codex from OpenAI ($1.25/1M input tokens); gpt-5.1-codex-max from OpenAI ($1.25/1M input tokens); gpt-5.2-codex from OpenAI ($1.75/1M input tokens). These alternatives were selected based on similar capabilities, pricing, and provider diversity. You can compare any of these models in detail using the Bifrost Model Library. ### How do I check if Perplexity is down? You can monitor Perplexity service health in real time on the Bifrost Perplexity Status page. It tracks current component status, active incidents, and historical reliability data pulled from the official status page every 60 seconds. ### How do I calculate glm-5.2 costs? glm-5.2 is priced based on input and output tokens. Use the interactive calculator at the top of this page to estimate costs for your specific workload. Enter your expected input and output tokens volume and the calculator will show the total cost breakdown. For reference, processing 1M input tokens costs $1.40 and generating 1M output tokens costs $4.40. ## Related Resources - [All Perplexity pricing](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity.md) - [LLM cost calculator](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator.md) - [Model library](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/model-library.md) - [Docs: Bifrost docs](https://docs.getbifrost.ai) - [GitHub: maximhq/bifrost](https://github.com/maximhq/bifrost) - [Pricing: Bifrost pricing](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/pricing.md) - [Enterprise: Bifrost enterprise](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/enterprise) - [Book a Demo: Bifrost demo](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/book-a-demo) - [Resources: Bifrost resources](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/resources.md) --- *This is a markdown version of [https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity/model/glm-5.2](https://www.getmaxim.ai/bifrost/llm-cost-calculator/provider/perplexity/model/glm-5.2) for AI/LLM consumption.*
