The provider pricing page that our daily tracker reads for this model.
Fetches the Mintlify markdown twin (page_url + .md), published by Inception's docs site. The HTML page shows the same rate card (<del>$0.20</del> → <strong>$0.04</strong>), but normalized HTML text drops the <del> mark, while the markdown keeps the list price as ~~strikethrough~~ ahead of the promotional price. `section` is the rate card's header row, so the recipes run only while the columns are Model | Input | Cached Input | Output, each per 1M tokens; `section_end` stops at the first line after the table. A price cell must be '~~list~~ → **promo**' (the struck list price is read, as price_note asks) or one plain or bold price. Any other shape (a second price in the cell, promo first, an inserted column, a unit change) fails loudly instead of reading a wrong number. The table also lists Mercury Voice, Mercury Decide and Mercury 2, which are not in this source's hint file.
The third-party price history (CC BY 4.0) that this page compares with our tracker.
These are Inception's LIST prices, per 1M tokens. Mercury 2.5 is currently on an 80%-off promotion, so the rate you actually pay today is $0.04 input / $0.15 output / $0.004 cached input. Inception has not published an end date for the promotion, so we track the list price — the rate the model reverts to — rather than a discounted number that could expire without notice. Inception's own rate card shows both, listing Mercury 2.5 at $0.20 input / $0.02 cached / $0.75 output struck through, alongside the discounted prices. Inception's launch announcement states the same standard pricing of $0.20 / $0.75 per 1M tokens and describes $0.04 / $0.15 as a launch discount. Verified 2026-09-08.
