The problem it solves

Picking the right AI model for your budget is hard when pricing is scattered across dozens of providers. You want to know exactly what a given prompt will cost before you commit to using it at scale.

Who it fits

Businesses and developers evaluating which AI model fits their budget.

How it works

  1. You choose a model and enter a prompt through a form or chat
  2. The prompt is sent to the AI model through OpenRouter
  3. The system reads how many tokens the request used
  4. Current pricing for that model is pulled and the exact cost is calculated
  5. You see the AI's response along with a full cost breakdown
What you get

AI costs you see before you commit

You get the exact cost of any AI model request shown right after you test your prompt.

What you get

An AI response paired with a precise cost breakdown for that request.

What you need

An OpenRouter account with API credits.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
