A4/5.0

Scored across 12 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target a distinct cost dimension (eval, fine-tune, RAG, observability, quantization, self-host, tokens, provider), but the opening trio — agent-loop-cost-calculator, agent-workflow-cost-calculator, and automation-cost-calculator — all compute workflow/agent costs and are genuinely easy to confuse. The descriptions mitigate this by explicitly cross-referencing each other with 'use X instead when...', which keeps misselection recoverable but not impossible.

Naming Consistency4/5

Nearly all tools follow a consistent kebab-case '[domain]-calculator' pattern (eval-cost, rag-pipeline-cost, observability-cost, etc.), with only token-counter and context-window-planner deviating in suffix. The convention is uniform and predictable; the minor suffix variation reflects genuinely different output types rather than inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

12 tools is well within the ideal 3-15 range and each calculator maps to a real, non-redundant cost question in the AI/LLM domain. No tool feels like filler, and the set is neither thin nor bloated.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the major AI cost concerns: tokenization, provider pricing, RAG pipelines, evals, fine-tuning ROI, observability, quantization, self-host breakeven, context planning, and agent/automation billing. Minor gaps exist (e.g. no dedicated embedding-only or batch-API cost tool), but agents can approximate these via existing calculators.

Available Tools

12 tools
agent-loop-cost-calculatorAgent LLM Loop Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use for LLM inference/reasoning cost per successful multi-step agent task, including failure overhead and context growth across turns. Use agent-workflow-cost-calculator for iPaaS/app-action/MCP orchestration fees. Use automation-cost-calculator for generic Zapier/Make/n8n workflow billing.

Inputs: tasks_per_month (required), model, provider, success_rate, +5 more.

agent-workflow-cost-calculatorAgent Workflow Platform Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use for automation-platform/iPaaS cost of an AI agent workflow, including app-action fan-out and MCP tool-call accounting, explicitly excluding LLM token spend. Use automation-cost-calculator for generic non-agent workflow billing. Use agent-loop-cost-calculator for LLM inference/reasoning cost per successful multi-step agent task.

Inputs: agent_runs_per_month (required), app_actions_per_run, make_modules_per_run, mcp_tool_calls_per_run.

automation-cost-calculatorWorkflow Automation Platform Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use for generic or non-agent recurring workflow platform billing across Zapier task billing, Make credit billing, and n8n execution billing. Use agent-workflow-cost-calculator instead when the workflow is explicitly an AI agent with app actions or MCP tool calls. Use agent-loop-cost-calculator instead when the question is about LLM inference/reasoning cost per successful agent task.

Inputs: workflow_runs_per_month (required), make_modules_per_run, billable_steps_per_run.

context-window-plannerContext Window PlannerA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user needs to know whether a document plus prompt plus output fits within a model's context window, or wants a strategy recommendation (truncate/summarize/rag/chunk).

Inputs: doc_tokens (required), model_context_window (required), strategy_hint, overhead_tokens, +1 more.

eval-cost-calculatorEvaluation Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user needs to budget an LLM evaluation run. Given samples/models/trials, returns total cost, per-run cost, and parallel time estimate.

Inputs: samples (required), model, models, provider, +6 more.

fine-tune-roi-calculatorFine-Tune ROI CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user is considering fine-tuning vs prompt engineering. Returns training cost, monthly inference savings, months-to-ROI, and breakeven volume.

Inputs: train_tokens (required), monthly_inference_tokens (required), train_cost_per_1m, prompt_reduction_pct, +2 more.

observability-cost-calculatorLLM Observability Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user needs to budget LLM observability tooling. Returns monthly cost at given request volume with retention adjustment.

Inputs: provider (required), requests_per_day (required), avg_log_bytes, retention_days.

provider-cost-calculatorLLM Provider Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user asks what an LLM workload costs on a specific provider/model, or wants to compare cost across providers. Given tokens per call and call volume, returns monthly cost plus a tier comparison table.

Inputs: tokens_in (required), tokens_out (required), model, provider, +2 more.

quantization-calculatorQuantization CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user is planning to quantize an LLM to fit on smaller hardware. Given parameter count and precision transition, returns VRAM requirement, speedup estimate, and approximate quality delta.

Inputs: params_billions (required), batch_size, precision_to, precision_from, +1 more.

rag-pipeline-cost-calculatorRAG Pipeline Cost CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user needs end-to-end RAG cost estimation (embedding + vector store + generation). Returns monthly cost with breakdown and dominant-component identification.

Inputs: corpus_tokens (required), queries_per_day (required), vector_store, answer_tokens, +7 more.

self-host-breakeven-calculatorSelf-Host Breakeven CalculatorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user is deciding between API usage and self-hosted GPU inference at a given volume. Returns breakeven token volume, monthly cost comparison, and go/no-go recommendation.

Inputs: monthly_tokens (required), gpu_type, gpu_provider, utilization_pct, +2 more.

token-counterToken CounterA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use when a user asks how many tokens a given text will consume, or needs to estimate prompt size before pricing a workload. Given text and tokenizer family, returns low/high token range and byte-level measurements.

Inputs: text (required), tokenizer, expected_out_tokens.
