TokenPricing
TokenPricing is a free, independent comparison project for LLM API pricing. It consolidates source-linked input, output, and cached-token rates across model providers and adds a calculator so developers and teams can estimate API spend before choosing a model or provider.

Products & Services
A web catalog comparing published LLM API offers by provider and model, with USD input, output, and cache-read rates per 1 million tokens, context information, and source links for individual offers.
A calculator that estimates cost per request and monthly API spend from input tokens, output tokens, request volume, cache-hit rate, and published or custom rates.
Documentation explaining per-million-token units, input/output/cache-read treatment, source traceability, and exclusions such as batch, region-specific, VIP-group, and token-tier offers.
Market Position
TokenPricing positions itself as an independent, source-linked comparison layer for LLM API pricing rather than an inference provider or billing platform. Its differentiation is the combination of provider-offer comparison, separate input/output/cache-read rates, explicit treatment of missing versus zero prices, methodology exclusions, and workload-level cost calculation. Comparable tools in the broader market include Price Per Token and AI Pricing Guru, while TokenPricing emphasizes its multi-provider offer comparison and traceability.

Founding Story
TokenPricing was started as an independent side project to replace scattered provider pricing pages with one source-linked comparison view. The stated initial vision was to help users answer which provider is cheapest for a particular model and workload, including the effect of prompt caching, before committing to an API.
