Tired of flat token pricing? Simulate actual production LLM costs including prompt caching discounts, multi-model cascades (direct vs. retry), and agentic context growth. Loaded with DeepSeek R1, Grok 3, Llama 4, and more.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I got tired of looking at flat "cost per million tokens" tables when trying to choose between different LLMs. They just don't reflect how we actually build apps anymore.
So I built a simple calculator to model real-world costs:
Cascades: What you actually save by routing simple queries to GPT-4o mini and escalating to Sonnet/o3 on failure (including the double-billing overhead of retries).
Agent loops: How cost compounds over multi-turn agentic steps, and how much prompt caching actually saves you.
Effective Cost: Scaling prices by benchmark success rates. If a cheap model fails half the time, it actually costs twice as much in production.
It has the latest models loaded (DeepSeek R1, Grok 3, Llama 4, Gemini 2.5, etc.) and a Cost vs. Intel scatter plot.
It's 100% free. Hope this is useful to anyone else trying to make sense of their API options!
