1 tools — AI token costs, model comparisons, and tech economics — optimize your stack.
AI bills are set by three variables most teams never model together: tokens per request, price per token type, and request volume. Output tokens cost 2–5× input tokens, cached prefixes cost ~10%, and volume multiplies everything — these calculators make the full stack visible before it invoices.
The optimization order with the best returns: cap output length and enforce concise formats first, enable prompt caching second, batch non-urgent work third, and route easy requests to smaller models fourth. Teams that work that list routinely cut 50–75% without touching product quality.
Provider prices move often, usually downward, with new discount levers attached. Re-run workload mixes quarterly against current pricing pages rather than annualizing a stale quote.
