A free, no-signup, client-side LLM cost calculator lets developers compare real token economics across models like DeepSeek-R1, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and OpenAI o3-mini.
- Factors in prompt caching discounts, Batch API (50% off), reasoning tokens, and multi-turn agentic loops (1–15 turns)
- Includes cloud API vs self-hosted GPU break-even analysis for RTX 4090 / H100 setups, showing at what token volume renting dedicated GPUs beats on-demand APIs
- Publishes its FinOps methodology for transparency
A practical budgeting tool for anyone building AI products and worried about runaway API bills.
