Stop Overpaying for AI Models
Most teams waste 50–90% of AI spend by using the wrong default model. Compare costs, see the cheapest options by use case, and choose a better-fit model.
Pricing data is periodically reviewed for accuracy.

Most users overpay with one bad default
Using GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet for every task can multiply costs unnecessarily. Smaller models often cut spend by 90%+ for routine coding, support, writing, and summarization.

GPT-5.5 is powerful, but expensive as a default
GPT-5.5 is best treated as a premium model for complex coding, professional work, and agentic workflows. If you route every simple prompt to GPT-5.5, you may overpay quickly. Use cheaper models for routine tasks and reserve GPT-5.5 for work where the higher success rate matters.
