Decision-grade AI pricing

Turn messy public AI pricing into a shortlist a budget owner can actually defend.

This planner ranks providers and model routes for your workload, adds hidden-fee pressure where the source exposes it, and turns the result into a shareable decision memo instead of a raw price table.

Useful for budget owners

The output is built to be discussed in a product, engineering, or finance review. It ranks routes, shows cost layers, and calls out why cheaper headline rows can still lose.

Useful for AI leads

The report still exposes the underlying monthly cost shape so technical buyers can validate whether the shortlist is being driven by tokens, add-ons, or route complexity.

How to use this tool well

Model the real workload

If your workflow uses search, retrieval, OCR, or managed state, enter those volumes. Raw token rows alone usually understate the real bill.

Read the exclusions

Rows are excluded when the current public pricing is not comparable enough for a decision-grade estimate. That is a feature, not a bug.

Share the permalink

Every report can be shared as a stable URL so stakeholders can review the same assumptions and shortlist.
