Cohere targets enterprise deployment rather than consumer chat. The Command family covers general text, reasoning, vision and a dedicated translation model, with Command R+ at $2.50 input and $10 output and lighter R7B variants below it.
The differentiators are retrieval and deployment. Cohere built its reputation on embeddings and reranking for RAG, and it offers private and on-premise deployment more readily than the consumer-facing labs — which matters where data cannot leave a controlled environment.
RAG heritageEmbeddings and reranking designed for retrieval rather than bolted on.
Deployment optionsPrivate and on-premise installations rather than API only.
Dedicated translationCommand A Translate for terminology-critical text.

How to choose
- Evaluate on retrieval quality, not chat polish — that is where Cohere is strongest.
- Ask about private and on-premise deployment early if data cannot leave your perimeter.
- Use Command A Translate for terminology-critical text rather than a general model.
- Expect to request pricing; several rates are not published publicly.

¹ Why Cohere shows an hourly rateCohere moved the Command A family off per-token billing. The published rate is per instance-hour — $40.00 for the L tier and $48.00 for XL, with Command A+ at $17.50–$32.50 — so a price per million tokens does not exist for these models. Only the older Command R family is still quoted per token: $2.50 input and $10.00 output per 1M. Rates from Cohere’s pricing docs, checked in October 2026.
