Stop guessing your AI bill. 📉 Build profitable AI products instead.

by•

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I’m the maker of aicostlabs.com.

The idea for this project started out of sheer frustration. As I was building my own AI wrappers, I kept hitting the same wall: AI unit economics are hard.

API prices change every week, token counting is confusing, and calculating if a feature is actually profitable often feels like guesswork. I got tired of messy spreadsheets, so I built a suite of tools to solve it.

What exactly is inside aicostlabs?

We’ve launched with a "Starter Tool Set" designed for every stage of your AI journey:

  • For Devs: A Token Cost Calculator and Prompt Cost Estimator to predict your API burn.

  • For Founders: A SaaS Profit Calculator and Break-Even tool to make sure your margins are healthy.

  • For Agencies: An AI Freelancer Rate Calculator and Automation Savings Tool to help you close more clients with data-driven ROI.

  • For Everyone: A real-time AI Pricing Comparison between OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.

The best part? No login required. It’s 100% free because I want to help the community build more sustainable AI businesses. 🚀

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

  • Which tool is most useful for your current workflow?

  • What other calculators should I add next?

I'll be here all day to answer your questions. Let’s make AI economics transparent together! 🛠️

This hits a real pain point, AI costs get messy fast. Love that it’s simple and doesn’t require login, makes it easy to actually use.

@nithikanb Thank you, glad to hear the tool hit's a pain point. Nowadays it is not easy to keep track of all the different models and pricings.
