Select a model to estimate monthly cost using its listed rates on each channel.
Workloads reusing system prompts, long documents, or conversation history hit more; channels without a cached rate are billed at the full input rate.
| Channel | Effective input | Output /1M | Est. / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| openrouter | $0.0055(w/ cache) | $0.50 | $0.41 |
Formula: monthly cost = (input tokens × effective input rate + output tokens × output rate) ÷ 1,000,000 × calls. The effective input rate blends list and cached rates at your cache-hit share. Rates share the selected model and billing basis; your vendor bill is authoritative.
