Compare AI API Costs Across 300+ Models — Free Calculator

Free LLM cost comparison calculator. Compare pricing across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and more.


Stop Googling pricing pages. Every time you need to compare AI model costs, you open 5 tabs — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral — and manually calculate what your workload would cost on each. Then a provider changes pricing and your spreadsheet is wrong.

We built a better way.

Enter your daily token volume (input and output), and instantly see what every model from every major provider would cost you — daily and monthly. No signup. No paywall.

What makes this different

300+ models, one table. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek, and more — all in one sortable, searchable view. Prices synced daily from provider APIs.

Quality scores included. Not just cost — we show quality scores from our Model Lab benchmarks, so you can find the models with the best cost-per-quality ratio. A model that costs 50% less but performs 80% as well might be the better choice for your use case.

Pareto frontier badges. Models marked "Best Value" sit on the efficiency frontier — no other model is both cheaper AND higher quality. These are your shortlist.

Real math, not estimates. Enter your actual daily token volumes. The calculator does the arithmetic: (input_tokens × input_price + output_tokens × output_price) / 1M × 30 days. Simple, transparent, correct.

Example: classification workload

A team running 1M input tokens and 100K output tokens per day:

ModelMonthly Cost
GPT-4o~$120
Claude Sonnet 4~$102
GPT-4o-mini~$18
DeepSeek V3~$12

That's a 10× cost difference between the most and least expensive option — for the same task. The calculator shows this instantly.

Why we built this

We're AISpendGuard — we help dev teams find and fix wasted AI spend. The calculator is step one: know what your models cost. Step two is tracking what you actually spend in production, detecting waste patterns, and getting actionable recommendations.
