    Read the monthly picture

    See what the volume costs once, per 1M tokens, and extrapolated to a typical month at 30 requests per day.

  4. 4

    Finance heavy usage with Payle

    If your API bill is significant, see the With Payle line: $0 today, then 3 equal monthly installments at 0% APR.

Why token pricing matters

Every AI model bills per token, the smallest unit of text it reads and writes. Because output tokens cost 3-5x more than input tokens, two teams using the “same” model can have wildly different bills: one that streams long answers pays much more than one that asks short questions.

Compare 12+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral and Meta

Token math also explains why model choice matters more than raw usage. A coding assistant running Claude Sonnet costs roughly the same per month as one running GPT-4o, but switching high-volume batch jobs to a cheaper tier like Gemini Flash or an open model can cut the bill by 80-90%.

Cheapest model highlighted for your exact input/output mix

Use this calculator before committing to a model or an API plan, estimate your real mix, compare providers, and budget accurately. When your volume grows, Payle lets you spread the monthly bill over 3 interest-free installments instead of paying it all upfront.
