$5 per million tokens means nothing. The Hobbit costs $0.06 on Gemini Flash-Lite — that means something. TokenScale translates AI API pricing into real content sizes across 16 providers: emails, novels, legal contracts, PhD theses. Watch costs compound across conversation turns. Compare Standard, Batch and Cache-hit pricing side by side. Free, no sign-up, updated nightly.
I built this because "$5 per million tokens" means nothing to most people — including me when I first started using AI APIs.
TokenScale converts any word count into real money across 16 providers simultaneously. Pick a landmark — an email, a novel, a PhD thesis — and see exactly what it costs everywhere, side by side.
A few things I learned building it:
- At 50 conversation turns, ~97% of your tokens are context, not output
- The cheapest and most expensive providers are 35× apart
- Cache hits can save 90%+ on repeated context
Single HTML file, no backend, no sign-up. Pricing verified nightly.
Happy to answer any questions!
