How to Calculate AI API Costs
AI API pricing is based on tokens processed — both input and output. Each model has different per-token rates. For example, 1 million input tokens costs $2.50 with GPT-4o but only $0.15 with GPT-4o Mini. Our calculator estimates real-world monthly costs based on your actual usage.
Tips to Reduce AI API Costs
Start with cheaper models for simple tasks. Implement prompt caching. Use streaming responses. Batch non-urgent requests. Consider fine-tuning a smaller model for repetitive tasks — the upfront cost often pays for itself within weeks.
