LLM Pricing Comparison That Maps to Your Scenarios

Pricing tables don’t answer the business question: “What does it cost for our product usage?” ArguScale compares model options inside the same usage scenario, so the budget impact is obvious.

Compare models in your scenario

What to compare (and what not to)

Compare:

  • monthly cost deltas across the same DAU + request assumptions
  • cost sensitivity to response length
  • base vs peak scenarios

Avoid:

  • choosing a model from “price per token” alone
  • budgeting with a single usage point estimate

Frequently Asked Questions

What drives the biggest cost difference between models?
Input/Output price ratios and the sheer volume of tokens for long-context tasks.
How do I justify premium models to stakeholders?
Quantify the cost delta and demonstrate the quality or capability difference (e.g., reasoning vs. retrieval).
How often do model prices change, and how do you handle updates?
Prices change frequently. We update our database regularly to reflect current provider pricing.
