About
AI cost planning for builders.
AI Cost Kit helps developers and founders estimate the cost of AI workloads before they ship. The site focuses on practical calculators, transparent assumptions, and official pricing sources.
What this site is
- A calculator-first resource for RAG, embeddings, agents, prompt caching, and LLM API usage.
- A neutral planning tool, not a provider sales page.
- An early MVP that will improve as pricing data and user feedback evolve.
How pages are built
- Pricing data is tied back to official provider sources where possible.
- Market research includes search results, competitor pages, creator videos, and practitioner writeups, but public calculators prioritize verifiable data.
- New pages are added when they solve a concrete budgeting or model-selection problem, not only because a keyword exists.
- Calculators keep assumptions visible so users can adjust workload, buffer, cache, and contract-price inputs.
Why this matters
AI teams often compare headline token prices without modeling workload shape, output length, retries, cached context, resource packages, or negotiated rates. AI Cost Kit focuses on turning those assumptions into practical budget estimates before teams commit spend.
