Important: We Are Not Your Advisor

aicost.ai provides general cost intelligence, frameworks, and tool recommendations based on publicly available information and AI-assisted research. We are NOT your financial, legal, compliance, or security advisor. All advice is provided as-is. You are responsible for validating any recommendation against your own organization's constraints — including but not limited to budget, infrastructure, security posture, privacy requirements, compliance obligations (HIPAA, SOC2, EU AI Act, CCPA, etc.), vendor contracts, and architectural realities. Always cross-check pricing, features, and terms directly with vendors before making decisions.

Before You Reach Out

You might find answers to common questions here:

Is aicost.ai free to use?

Yes. The AI Cost Genie chat, the 4-min cost assessment, the pricing watch, and all the guides are free. We offer paid consulting for complex situations that need a human — but the self-serve tools are always free.

Do you sell my data?

No. We never sell personal information. When you chat with the Genie or use our tools, we log anonymized usage for product improvement. When you provide an email for a download, we use it only to deliver what you requested and to send relevant follow-ups (which you can unsubscribe from anytime).

How accurate is the pricing you show?

Pricing is sourced from vendor websites and our tools database of 115K+ AI tools. We make reasonable efforts to keep it current, but pricing changes frequently in AI/cloud. Always verify pricing directly with the vendor before making a purchase decision. We disclaim liability for outdated pricing — see our terms of service.

Can the AI Cost Genie give me bad advice?

The Genie is an AI system. It can be wrong, miss context about your specific organization, or be based on information that has become outdated. Treat its guidance as a starting point for your own research — not as final advice. Cross-check with your team, your architecture, your compliance officer, and the actual vendors before implementing.

Do you have affiliate relationships with vendors?

The ToolsInfo network (our parent data source) may have affiliate links in certain categories. Affiliate relationships never influence our tool rankings or recommendations. All advice is based on features, value, and fit — not commissions.

How do I delete my data?

Email [email protected] with 'Data Deletion Request' in the subject line. We'll process within 45 days per CCPA/GDPR requirements.

Methodology

  • All prices are USD per 1 million tokens, current as of 2026-06-05.
  • Vendor-published values have no mark. Inferred/extrapolated values are marked with * and listed below.
  • Batch API discounts are 50% off standard rates across providers that offer Batch mode.
  • Prompt caching discounts vary by provider (typically 80-90% off cached input tokens).
  • Regional data-residency surcharges (Anthropic 1.1x, OpenAI 1.1x, Google regional tiers) are NOT included in base rates.
  • Long-context pricing tiers apply when input exceeds model threshold.
  • Embedding prices are input-only (no output tokens generated).
