LLM API Cost
Comparison

Put one monthly workload beside published OpenAI, Claude and Gemini token rates. Change the input/output mix and the comparison updates in your browser. This is an independent unofficial estimate; prices can change.

01 / SAME WORKLOAD

Compare the cost of one workload.

Start with 10M input + 2M output tokens, or enter your own monthly totals. No API key or usage data is sent anywhere.

Presets

Formula: (input tokens ÷ 1M × input rate) + (output tokens ÷ 1M × output rate).

The same token count can produce different product outcomes. Include retries, extra turns, prompt caching, tool calls and quality requirements when you budget a real application.

03 / READ THE RESULT

Token price is a useful baseline, not an invoice.

These rows are comparable only within the assumptions shown.

Claude Haiku tier

The displayed $0.10 / $0.50 rate is for prompts up to 100K tokens. The Claude page shows $0.50 input and $2.50 output above 100K, so split or reprice those requests.

Gemini date window

Gemini 4 Argon is shown at the introductory $2 input and $10 output rate through November 30, 2026. The existing Gemini page records the announced later $4 / $20 rate; recheck before December budgets.

OpenAI modifiers

The OpenAI rows use standard short-context list rates. Cached input, Batch or Flex modes, long context, tools and other routes can change the total.

04 / FAQ

LLM API cost comparison questions

How does this LLM API cost comparison work?

Enter monthly input and output token totals. Each row calculates input tokens divided by one million times the input rate, plus output tokens divided by one million times the output rate.

Which prices are included here?

This page only reuses prices already shown on this site: five OpenAI models from the OpenAI calculator, three Claude models from the Claude pricing page, and Gemini 4 Argon's introductory rates from the Gemini pricing page.

Does the result show my exact invoice?

No. It is an independent unofficial token estimate. It excludes cache charges, batch or priority adjustments, tools, taxes, hosting and provider-specific fees. Verify the exact official rate card before deployment.

Can I compare a prompt over 100K tokens with the Haiku row?

Not at the displayed short-tier rate. The Haiku row is for prompts up to 100K tokens. For prompts over 100K, use the higher rates shown in the Haiku pricing guide.

Where can I see the wider LLM rate card?

Visit the LLM API pricing comparison for the broader site guide, then use this page when you need one workload calculated across multiple providers.
