Monthly cost projections

Projected monthly spend at different call volumes, using code generation as a representative workload (2,000 input / 4,000 output tokens per call).

Calls / monthWithout cachingWith caching (0% read discount)
1K$780$780

Caching estimate assumes 70% of input tokens are cache reads. Your actual cache hit rate will depend on prompt structure and reuse.
