Why We Built This
Every week, someone asks us: "Which AI model should we use?" The answer is almost always: "Depends on the task and your budget."
But nobody had a tool that actually showed the cost breakdown for real business tasks, not synthetic benchmarks, not "tokens per dollar" abstractions, but actual scenarios you'd encounter running a company.
So we built one. Try the AI Cost Calculator →
How It Works
Toggle tasks on or off, adjust the volume sliders to match your actual workload, and watch the cost comparison update in real time. No login, no data collection. Everything runs in your browser.
The Tasks You Can Configure
2. Sales Call Summarization: Key points, action items, deal signals. Scale from 1 to 5,000 calls.
3. Product Description Generation: SEO-optimized, brand-consistent copy. Scale from 1 to 25,000 products.
4. Code Review: Security vulnerabilities, style issues, logic errors. Scale from 1 to 2,500 PRs.
5. Investor Report: Synthesize metrics, financials, and milestones into narrative. Scale from 1 to 50 reports.
The 7 Models Compared
- DeepSeek V4 Flash & V4 Pro
- Claude Sonnet 4.6 & Opus 4.7
- GPT-5.5
- Gemini 3.1 Flash & Ultra
Key Findings
At default volumes, the price spread is 174x between the cheapest (DeepSeek V4 Flash at $2.74) and the most expensive (Claude Opus 4.7 at $476.25) for identical workloads.
But the real insight is what happens when you adjust the sliders. At low volumes, the difference is pocket change. At enterprise scale, model choice is the difference between a $50/month line item and a $50,000/month budget line.
Premium models make sense for tasks requiring deep reasoning: complex code review, nuanced strategy documents. They're overkill for classification, summarization, and generation at scale.
