About AICost
AI//COST is an independent price desk for AI models. Verified vendor-canonical pricing, calculators, comparisons, and capability Q&A. No paid placements or sponsored rankings.
What AICost does
- Dated rates
- Each model page copies input, output, and cache prices from that lab's own pricing page and stamps the day they were read.
- Calculators
- API cost, token count, subscription break-even, and text-to-speech pricing all run on those same rates.
- Head-to-heads
- A comparison page puts two models next to each other with the current rates and a short verdict.
- Capability checks
- A can-this-model-do-that page includes a test output, not only a line from the spec sheet.
Who it’s for
Anyone adding up an API bill or choosing between two models. Skip it if you want a host, a gateway, or a ranked list of tools. The rankings section is marked as not shipped.
What it costs
There is no subscription and no pricing page for the desk itself. The rate pages, comparisons, and calculators are free to read. The site says it does not sell placement.
