Are you making money with AI… or just burning tokens?
The only calculator that tells you not just what AI costs — but whether your business is actually profiting from it. Compare 21 models, run break-even analysis, and get an optimization plan built for your numbers.
💾 What are you using AI for?
Name it, save it, come back to it any time
💡 Tip: Save different ideas (emails, listings, content) to compare which ones actually make money.
1Choose your AI tools
Which AI tools do you want to compare?

Please add at least one AI model to compare.
2Count your tokens
Paste your text to measure it
💡
Paste what you ask AI (your prompt) and what it replies — we'll measure the size so the calculator knows how much each interaction costs.
✏️ What you type to the AI
Size (tokens)0
⚠ Approximate — actual usage varies slightly by AI tool
🤖 What the AI replied

💡 Simple ways to pay less for AI
Keep your prompts short and direct. Every extra word costs money. Say what you need — skip the "please kindly…"
Tell AI how long to make its answer. Add "Reply in 3 bullet points" or "Keep it under 100 words." The AI's reply costs 3–10× more than your question — shorter answers = lower bills.
If you send the same instructions every time, turn on caching below. It stores your setup and charges you much less for it on repeat requests.
Pick the right AI for the job. You don't need the most expensive model for simple tasks like writing emails or product descriptions.
Not in a rush? OpenAI and Anthropic offer roughly 50% off if your tasks can wait a few hours. Turn on "Batch processing" below.
3How often do you use it?
Tell us about your usage volume
📅
Tell us how often you do this AI task. The calculator needs this to figure out your total monthly cost.
Don't worry about getting this perfect — you can adjust everything after you see your results.
🌟 Or start from a real example:
Click one that matches what you do — it fills in realistic numbers automatically
This fills in automatically when you paste text above. Or type a number. ~500 = one short email prompt
How long the AI's answer is. ~300 = a 2-3 paragraph reply
How many times per day will AI do this task?Example: Writing 5 product listings a day? Enter 5.
Monthly is most useful for budgeting
🚀 Or fill in numbers based on your task type:
👉 Pick what you're using AI for — we'll fill in typical numbers
⚙️ Optional: fine-tune your cost estimate
These are advanced settings — skip them if you're not sure. They adjust the calculation based on how you run your setup.
Reuse My Instructions
If you send the same setup instructions every time, turn this on — AI platforms store and discount them.
Saves ~50% on your prompt cost
Not in a Rush
Tasks that can wait a few hours (reports, summaries) qualify for a big discount via batch processing.
Saves ~50% total cost
Account for Errors
In real production apps, some requests fail and retry. Turn this on to factor that into your estimate.
Adds ~15% to cost
