Cost calculators
Every interactive calculator in one place, all on the same dated snapshot. Flat subscriptions can undercut pay-per-token pricing once you clear break-even — these tools show how, with the arithmetic visible.
Break-even: flat plan vs metered
Set your monthly task count, tokens per task, flat-plan price, and team seats. The crossover figure and every input are encoded in the URL (?tasks=120&tokens=100000&sub=39&seats=1), so results stay shareable. The flat-plan price defaults to the $39/mo Kimi Allegretto tier, so the crossover here matches the ≈49-task figure on the homepage.
Inputs
Reference token blend (metered side)$8.00/M · $0.800/task
Premium ref is the illustrative reference blend the calculator defaults to — $0.800/task at your token size; a premium frontier API typically costs this much.

$39 flat plan (Kimi Allegretto)$39.00/mo
Defaults: the $39/mo Allegretto tier vs $0.80/task pay-as-you-go crosses over at ≈49 tasks/mo (100k tokens/task). That default $0.80/task equals a premium-class $8 per 1M blended-token rate — pick a preset chip above if your traffic is K3- or flash-class, where metered cost per task is much lower and break-even moves accordingly. The per-task rate scales with the tokens slider at the selected $8.00 per 1M blend — your mix will differ. $40 is the illustrative reference basket vs pay-as-you-go; $39 is the actual Kimi Allegretto tier — break-even is ~50 tasks/mo on the basket, ~49 on Allegretto.
Team seats: what a headcount costs
The break-even panel above answers “seats vs metered” for an estimated task volume; this one answers “I picked a Team plan — what do N seats cost, and what happens as they fill.” Every option mirrors a dated row in the provider pages (seat-priced rows only; single-user consumer tiers stay on the offers side). Inputs live in the URL (?tsku=claude-team-standard&theads=5), so a headcount result is shareable like the rest. Decision rules for seats vs pooled API spend: AI seats for teams.

What breaks when seats fill
- Included usage is granted per user (1,900 AI credits per user per month) — it is stated per seat, not as a team pool.
- Overage term quoted on the row: $0.01 per AI credit; 1,900 credits/seat/mo.
Row notes, quoted: Includes 1,900 AI credits per user per month (usage-based billing).
Single-user consumer tiers stay listed on the offers side; only seat-priced rows are selectable here. ChatGPT Business is listed with its structure only because its per-seat dollar is not published.
Cost of one task, per route
The leaderboard blends each route's published input and output prices as (3 × input + 1 × output) / 4 — write-heavy-workload arithmetic, ours, not a provider figure — then multiplies by your task size. 43 priced API routes listed; subscription and credit routes are on the offers side of the ledger.

Monthly vs annual: the prepay decision
Annual billing trades cash-now for rate-later. Worked on the tracked Kimi Allegretto tier (verified 2026-09-06); the refund window, not the discount, decides how risky a prepay is — full checklist in monthly vs annual AI plans.
| Billing | Per month | 12-month cash | Break-even vs metered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $39/mo | $468 | ≈49 tasks/mo |
| Annual prepaid | ≈$31/mo eff. | $372 upfront | ≈39 tasks/mo |
| Metered reference | $0.80/task | 120 tasks/mo → $1152 | — |
| Annual saves $96/yr vs monthly at list (≈$39/mo ÷ $0.80/task = 49 tasks; the $40 illustrative basket lands at 50). Break-even = tasks per month where metered spend passes the flat fee. | |||
12 months on each tracked offer
Each offer's verified monthly price × 12 — projection of the published rate only, not a quote: renewals, promos, and tier choice can change it. Where a route is $0, there is no bill to project. Limits and refund terms per offer stay on its page.

Not sure what a “task” costs in tokens?
The reference is 0.80/task at 100k tokens; your real in/out mix will differ — the definition and worked example are in effective cost per task, explained.

These calculators use cost figures only — intelligence scores quoted elsewhere on the site (Artificial Analysis, accessed 2026-09-07) never enter them.
