What the LLM API Cost Calculator | Plugsky does

The LLM API Cost Calculator estimates monthly spend across major providers from one input: your token volume. Enter monthly input and output tokens in millions, and the table recalculates input, output, and total cost for Plugsky, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and DeepSeek. It is for developers and teams comparing the cost of a workload before committing to a provider. Figures are estimates based on published per-token pricing.

How to use it

  1. Enter your monthly input token volume in millions.
  2. Enter your monthly output token volume in millions.
  3. Read the per-provider input, output, and total cost columns.
  4. Adjust the volume to test growth and peak scenarios.
  5. Confirm current rates on the live pricing page before deciding.

FAQ

Which providers are compared?

The table covers Plugsky, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and DeepSeek using representative models from each, such as GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, and Gemini 2.0 Pro. Pricing is per million tokens and updates as you change the usage inputs.

Why do output tokens cost more?

Most providers price generated output higher than input because decoding is more compute-intensive than reading a prompt. If your workload generates long answers, output rates will dominate the estimate, so test shorter responses or summarize before comparing.

How accurate is the calculation?

It multiplies published per-token rates by your monthly volume, so it is an estimate. Real invoices reflect caching, retries, batch discounts, and any gateway fees. Use the result for relative comparison, then verify current rates on the pricing page.
