Frequently asked AI cost questions

Which AI calculator should I use first?+
If you're estimating your monthly LLM bill, start with the LLM API Monthly Cost Estimator. To compare models head-to-head, use the Token & Pricing Comparator. For RAG apps, the RAG Total Cost Calculator includes embeddings, vector DB, retrieval, and generation in one number.
How accurate are AITOT's AI cost calculators?+
Pricing is sourced from official provider documentation and refreshed on the first of every month. Real bills typically come in within 5–15% of our estimates. Variance comes from caching, batching, region surcharges, and rate-limit headroom.
Which LLM API is cheapest in 2026?+
Amazon Nova Lite at $0.06 input and $0.24 output per million tokens is the cheapest production-grade LLM. For cheap-but-capable, Claude Haiku 4.5 at $0.80/$4 and Gemini 2.5 Flash at $0.30/$2.50 are the sweet spot. Premium flagship is Claude Opus 4.7 at $15/$75.
Is renting GPUs cheaper than using a hosted LLM API?+
Break-even is around 500M tokens per month for an open-weight 70B model. Below that, hosted APIs win on simplicity and cost. Above 1B tokens per month with steady traffic, renting H100s on RunPod or Lambda Labs can cut costs 50–70% versus per-token billing.
Do I need to create an account to use AITOT?+
No. All 12 calculators run client-side in your browser. We don't store your inputs, scenarios, or results on our servers. Saved scenarios live in localStorage on your own device.
How is AITOT different from a spreadsheet?+
AITOT preloads pricing for 22 LLM models, 12 GPU clouds, 9 vector DB providers, and 12 image and video generation services, refreshed monthly. You'd need to maintain 50+ pricing sources manually in a spreadsheet. AITOT also computes prompt-cache savings, batch-API discounts, and inference tax automatically.
