TokenTally

TokenTally · AI cost planner

Plan AI costs before you ship, sign, or scale.

Model real usage before launch, compare providers under the same workload, and turn token math into a decision your product, engineering, and finance teams can actually agree on.

This page is built for real planning, not curiosity clicks. Every estimate ties back to the public methodology and long-form pricing guides so reviewers can audit the math without leaving Tokentally.net.

Why this is useful

Budgeting you can actually share

  • Workload totals include both prompt and completion counts, plus a words approximation, so you can paste them directly into finance decks or planning docs.
  • Requests per month scales everything, which makes it easy to compare pilot usage, launch usage, and steady-state usage before rollout.
  • Use the scenario link to document model choices in PRDs, Jira tickets, budget reviews, or vendor comparisons.
  • Context-window callouts help you catch prompt bloat early, before a model choice becomes a reliability problem.

Decision workflow

Flip through providers to see how the same workload behaves across pricing tiers. The comparison table mirrors your exact inputs, so the tradeoffs stay concrete.

Planning a routing strategy? Compare premium models against budget models using the same workload so you can estimate whether escalation logic is financially worth it.

When you need line-item detail, move from this planning surface to the comparison pageor dive into the guide library for model-specific assumptions.

Deep dives

Need context, not just numbers? The guides explain where each model fits, what assumptions matter, and how pricing behaves in practice.
