At 4 requests/user/day (totaling 600,000 queries/mo), running Document summarization on DeepSeek Coder V2.5 costs $2,011.80 / month ($0.4024 / user / mo).
Document summarization for a 5,000 active users (growth stage saas) audience means 20,000 requests per day on average, each carrying 25,000 input and 600 output tokens at a 10% cacheable share — so the effective per-request cost on DeepSeek Coder V2.5 is $0.003353, of which $189.00/mo comes back from prompt caching. Per active user that's $0.4024/mo — the number to hold against your pricing tier and gross margin. Charging at least $2.012/user/mo keeps gross margin at or above 80%.
Quick answer
For 5,000 Active Users, Document summarization on DeepSeek Coder V2.5 is modeled at 600,000 requests per month, costing $2,011.80 per month or $0.4024 per active user.
Method & trust
This projection combines the selected active-user tier, requests per user per day, input/output tokens per request, and the modeled cache share. It is an operating estimate, not a provider invoice; production traffic and retries should be measured against it.
