FAQ
Our calculator uses published API pricing from each provider, updated regularly. Results are estimates based on token counts — actual costs may vary slightly depending on your specific usage patterns, but they're typically within 5-10% of your real bill.
APIpulse supports 95 models across 11 providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere, Meta (via Together.ai), Moonshot, xAI, and AI21. We cover both premium models (GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro) and budget options (GPT-4o mini, Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, DeepSeek V4 Flash).
The biggest savings come from using the right model for each task — route simple requests to budget models like GPT-4o mini and reserve premium models for complex reasoning. Other strategies include prompt optimization, response caching, batch processing, and setting token limits. Our calculator helps you model these scenarios.
