How does the AI model cost calculator work?

Enter your estimated monthly input and output token volume. The calculator multiplies your volume by each model's published per-million-token API pricing to show estimated monthly cost, sorted cheapest first.

Are open-weight models really free?

Open-weight models have no per-token API fee - you download and run them yourself. Your cost is compute infrastructure (GPU rental or owned hardware), which varies by model size and provider.

How accurate are these cost estimates?

Estimates use published list prices as of April 2026. Actual costs may differ due to cached input discounts, volume tiers, batch API pricing, and provider-specific promotions. Verify current pricing with each provider.
