AI cost calculators and pricing tools
Start with the decision you need to make. Plan tools estimate a workload, Compare tools put options on the same assumptions, and Track tools show what changed. Every calculator runs in your browser against source-backed pricing from 193 providers and 7,243 models. Enter your real request volume, token mix, caching, retries, seats, or infrastructure assumptions instead of relying on a vendor example. Results are planning estimates based on public list prices, so review the linked source record and methodology before making a production billing decision.

Which tool for which decision
A starting map, not a ranking. Every calculator uses the same committed pricing snapshot.
| Decision | Start here |
|---|---|
| Compare model API prices | Provider Pricing Index |
| Estimate monthly token spend | AI Cost Calculator |
| Compare GPU rentals across clouds | GPU Price Explorer |
| Filter AWS EC2 GPU list prices | AWS GPU Pricing |
| See what a published rate changed | Price Changes & Confidence |
How to choose the right calculator
Start from the decision, not the tool. If you are pricing a product or feature, open a Plan calculator and enter your real token mix, request volume, retries, and caching to get a monthly number you can defend.
If you are choosing between vendors, use a Compare tool to put providers, clouds, or media models side by side on the same workload. If a price already moved, the Track tools show what changed, by how much, and how confident the source is.
