What a tier drop is worth
The saving from dropping a tier is set by list prices, so it is easy to state exactly. Moving a call from Claude Opus 4.8 to Claude Sonnet 4.6 cuts its token price by 40%; moving it to Claude Haiku 4.5 cuts it by 80%. How many of your calls can drop a tier without losing quality depends on your workload - we do not publish a customer average, because we have none to publish.
How suggestions work
The pre-send advisor looks at the call in front of it:
- •Task type - it detects the kind of task (classification, extraction, code generation and so on); simple tasks rarely need a top-tier model
- •Price - it prices the call on the current model and on cheaper alternatives across all four providers
- •Confidence - each alternative gets a confidence score for that task type, taken from a third-party benchmark snapshot; the advisor prints the benchmark week and flags a stale snapshot
Weekly digest
On paid plans, account admins get a weekly digest email with the week's spend by model category (premium, standard and efficient) and by provider, plus coaching tips - for example, when most spend sits on premium models or the cache hit rate is low.
Not a router
Tokeven doesn't route your calls automatically. We show you the data and let you decide. This means you stay in control and learn to make better choices.
