Estimate cost per request, scenario, and month.

Estimate token-driven API cost with current public rate cards, shareable scenarios, and model-specific source links.

AI pricing

Model cost planning without the gimmicks

Use public model pricing, token estimates, and shareable URL state to pressure-test a workflow before it becomes a real budget line.

Estimate tokens from pasted text

This is approximate, but it is useful for turning a real prompt or model output into a practical planning input.

How to use it

Turn a rate card into a workload estimate

Start with the model, then estimate prompt size, response size, any cached context, and how often the request runs. The calculator separates per-request cost from monthly volume so you can see whether a rate difference is trivial or operationally meaningful.

Use the provider pages when you are still deciding between ecosystems, then use this calculator when you already have a model shortlist.

Limits

What this estimate does not know

  • Provider discounts, enterprise contracts, or free-tier credits not shown on the public rate card.
  • Latency, rate limits, retries, tool-call overhead, or orchestration costs outside the token bill.
  • Future pricing changes after the page’s listed verification date.
