Common Mistakes to Avoid

!

Mistake: Not accounting for output token costs

Solution: Output tokens are typically 2-5x more expensive than input tokens. Factor both into your calculations.

!

Mistake: Underestimating actual token usage

Solution: Add 20-30% buffer to your estimates as real usage often exceeds initial projections.

!

Mistake: Ignoring context window limits

Solution: Large prompts may require truncation or multiple requests, increasing costs beyond simple calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the token estimates?
Our text-based estimates use the standard 1 token ≈ 4 characters rule, which is about 75-80% accurate. For exact counts, use the model provider's tokenizer tools.
Do prices include API fees and taxes?
Prices shown are base API costs only. Additional fees may apply depending on your usage tier and location.
Which model is most cost-effective?
GPT-3.5 Turbo and Claude 3 Haiku offer the best value for simple tasks. Use GPT-4 or Claude 3 Opus for complex reasoning tasks where quality justifies the cost.
How often are prices updated?
We update pricing monthly or whenever providers announce changes. Prices were last updated in December 2024.
