Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, Gemini 3.1 Pro or GPT-4.1?
The two are closer than they look: GPT-4.1 at $3.80 per million tokens blended, Gemini 3.1 Pro at $5.00, a 24 per cent difference. A single 100K-input, 10K-output job costs $0.280 on GPT-4.1 against $0.320 on Gemini 3.1 Pro. Blended cost weights input at 70% and output at 30%; price your own token split for an exact answer, since the cheaper model on a blended basis is not always cheaper for your workload.
Which has the larger context window, Gemini 3.1 Pro or GPT-4.1?
Context is level at 1,000,000 tokens on each side. The context window caps everything in a single request: prompt, retrieved documents, conversation history and the model’s own output all share it.
Can I compare Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-4.1 on my own numbers?
Yes. Open both in the side-by-side comparison tool to see every field at once, or use the token calculator to price your actual prompt and monthly request volume against each model. Both are free and need no sign-up.
