How to use this AI cost comparator

  1. Paste the prompt you're planning to send.
  2. Adjust the expected output length if you have a rough idea.
  3. See every model's estimated cost for that exact prompt, cheapest first.

Why compare instead of just picking one model?

Per-token prices vary by more than 100x between the cheapest and most expensive mainstream models, and the cheapest option for a short factual question is often not the cheapest for a long creative-writing request, since input and output are priced separately. Comparing your actual prompt against every model at once, instead of assuming a fixed "cheap model," catches cases where a slightly pricier-looking model is actually cheaper for that specific request.

Is the token count exact for every provider?

It's exact for OpenAI's own models (using the o200k_base tokenizer) and a reasonable approximation for Claude and Gemini, since those providers use their own distinct tokenizers not available as a public client-side library.

Why does the cheapest model change depending on my prompt?

Because input and output tokens are usually priced very differently, a short prompt expecting a long answer and a long prompt expecting a short answer can have different cheapest options, this tool recalculates the full ranking for your specific numbers, not a fixed list.
