AI//COST

Next month's AI bill is anyone's guess when models charge per million tokens, small chunks of text. On the main AI//COST calculator you describe your workload, including repeated text billed at a cache rate and the hidden thinking some models charge for. It then estimates the monthly bill across every model with a live price.

Eight more calculators cover other AI bills, from video clips to one full task run by an AI agent. One sets a chat subscription against paying per use and shows how many messages a day it takes to break even. Another counts the tokens in pasted text, and the counts vary because vendors split text differently.

The price table listed 343 models from 35 providers when this listing was written, with 173 archived and hidden by default. The methodology page says a person reads each rate from the vendor's pricing page and records it with the source and date, without scrapers or third-party price lists. Model pages keep old rates when a price changes, and a public log records material corrections.

The footer says some links are tracked and sponsored slots are marked, and the methodology page says affiliate status cannot move a tool in the rankings. Prices appear in US dollars before tax, and benchmark scores come from third-party leaderboards.
