A decision, not a price table
One honest number from messy pricing.
Credits, seconds, retries, output resolution, and workflow restrictions all change the answer. We put them in the same equation.

Normalize every price
We convert per-second rates and monthly credits into one real workload cost.

The calculator system
One method across video, image, speech, and language models.
Every calculator uses the same decision path: define the workload, exclude incompatible offers, normalize the complete cost, and open the best available route.

Auditable by design
Every recommendation shows its math.
Rates link to provider sources. The formula includes failed attempts and workflow limits. When an option cannot deliver your task, we exclude it instead of forcing a comparison.
