i asked chatgpt to compare the pricing for Realtime Api and whisper. i want to know if there is something i am missing to make this comparison more accurate? also would like to discuss further related to this topic, so i am open to any kind of feedback. thanks

this forum does not allow links so i had to do some creativity
Lets compare manually:
According to this: https://openai.com/api/pricing/
Normal Speech to text → then chatGPT → then text to speech
Model: Whisper
$0.006 / minute (rounded to the nearest second)
Model: gpt-4o
$2.50 / 1M input tokens
$10.00 / 1M output tokens
Model: Text To Speech (TTS)
15$/1M characters
In Realtime API
input $0.06 / minute
output $0.24/ minute
Or expressing with tokens without text (Audio only):
$100.00 / 1M input tokens
$200.00 / 1M output tokens
It is not an exact calculation even not a comparison but you can feel the difference…
