How AI Token Pricing Works
Every LLM provider bills per million tokens, split between input (your prompt + context) and output (the model's response). Output tokens are almost always 3–5× more expensive than input.
To estimate your monthly AI SaaS cost, multiply your monthly requests by the average tokens per request, divide by 1,000,000, and multiply by the per-million price. Do this separately for input and output, then sum.
Production-grade apps cut 40–70% off this number with prompt caching, smaller routing models, response truncation, and aggressive client-side pre-processing. That's what our AI Hero does.
