AI Token Saver

AI Token Saver / Cost comparisons

Compare your
AI compute costs.

Choose between API inference, rented GPUs and your own hardware. Check the assumptions and estimate the cost of your workload.

01

NanoGPT vs OpenRouter

Compare NanoGPT and OpenRouter using matched provider prices, funding fees, subscription limits and cache rules. See worked API cost examples.

02

Chutes vs OpenRouter

Compare Chutes direct with Chutes through OpenRouter. Check matched token prices, credit fees, caching and fallback settings before switching.

03

Runpod vs Vast.ai

Compare Runpod and Vast.ai for occasional GPU use. Enter your quotes to estimate storage, transfer and rebuild costs, and decide when to keep or delete a disk.

04

API, rented GPU or your own hardware?

Compare API, rented GPUs, existing hardware and a new system with editable cost scenarios. Separate cash spending, ownership cost and task requirements.

05

Serverless or a dedicated Pod?

Choose between Runpod Flex Serverless and Pods using worker lifecycles, cold starts, waiting and storage, with editable 30-day cost scenarios and CSV export.

06

Groq vs OpenRouter

Compare Groq direct, Groq through OpenRouter and another named GPT-OSS route. Calculate token costs, actual cache reads and a separate funding-fee allowance.

07

Ollama context length & VRAM

Set Ollama context length with num_ctx, check GPU offloading and understand memory trade-offs before upgrading hardware or switching to a hosted API.

08

Qwen3.8 27B API costs

Compare Qwen3.8 27B API routes, input/output and cache prices. Calculate monthly token costs, inspect provider conditions and export your budget.

09

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash API costs

Compare DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and 1017 API routes, cached token costs and monthly workloads. Check model versions, sourced prices and funding assumptions.

10

Will prompt caching reduce your bill?

Compare no cache, 5-minute and 1-hour Claude caching. Include writes, reads, output and cold starts to estimate your whole bill and break-even reuse.

11

GPU for a 70B LLM

Choose a GPU for a 70B LLM. Compare 4-bit, 8-bit and FP16 memory, context and concurrency, then shortlist GPU rental quotes and hardware to buy.

12

LLM VRAM calculator

Calculate LLM VRAM from model files, context and concurrency. Check your GPU, compare memory-qualified rental quotes and estimate your compute budget.

Rates and methods carry their own check dates. GPU calculations start with clearly labeled example quotes; replace them with a suitable offer before deciding.
