Understanding LLM Pricing
Token-Based Pricing
LLM APIs charge per token processed. A token is roughly 3/4 of a word in English. Pricing is typically quoted per 1 million tokens, with separate rates for input (prompt) and output (completion) tokens.
Input vs Output Costs
Output tokens are typically 2-5x more expensive than input tokens because generation requires more compute per token. Workloads with long completions (e.g., content generation) will cost significantly more than short-answer tasks.
Cost Optimization
Use smaller, cheaper models for simple tasks like classification or routing, and reserve larger models for complex reasoning. Prompt caching, batching, and response length limits can reduce costs by 30-60%.
100% Client-Side
All calculations happen entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Pricing data is hardcoded and updated regularly to reflect current API rates from each provider.
