I built a real-time LLM API pricing comparator — because I was tired of not knowing the actual cost difference between models I use LLMs daily at work and kept running into the same frustration: provider pricing pages give you raw numbers per million tokens, but no way to understand what that actually means for your specific use case. Is GPT-4o really that much more expensive than Claude Sonnet for 10k requests per day? What about DeepSeek vs Gemini Flash for high-volume summarization? I

I nearly cut my free plan retention out of fear. I measured first, and the change did nothing. Backstory first, because that's the honest order. I pay for OpenAI, Anthropic and Cursor.

All I did was publish the app, make a single post on X, LinkedIn and Show HN. That’s not really any sort of distribution effort needed for an app. So I will continue to get the word out regarding Costbase on Reddit, and other places, as well as engaging with X users who have problem with AI cost. (If you guys have ideas, lmk) It’s just a small app, a side project, so I won’t put too much time marketing this before calling it quit. Pre-AI, I’ve always spent so much effort building an app that I don’t have any time left for marketing (I also run an ERP consultancy). Now, building is pretty much automated, so th

Invoicing you pay for by the invoice, not by the month. There's a free generator if you'd rather see the output than read about it — no account, no email.
