Token cost library

Model pricing guides

Each guide breaks down a single model’s token pricing, realistic workloads, and FAQs. Use them to educate stakeholders or benchmark multiple providers before you ship.

12 of 37 guides are launch-ready.

How to use this library

Deep dives for finance, product, and engineering

Every guide packages scenario math, cache assumptions, FAQs, and pricing citations for a single model.

Share them when stakeholders need qualitative context—not just the spreadsheet.

Inside each guide you’ll find:

  • Scenario presets with per-request, monthly, and yearly totals.
  • Use cases that explain where the model shines (or falls short).
  • FAQ + pricing citations so legal/finance can audit the numbers.

Need a model that isn’t listed yet? Email hello@tokentally.net and we’ll queue it up.

Launch set

QA’d and ready for prime time. We’ll add the rest of the library once their copy is reviewed.
