Cost worksheet

Bring your usage and rates. Make the arithmetic explicit.

Illustrative rates, not a live NexoToken quote. Total input includes cached input. Every rate is per one million tokens.

Estimate from your inputs¥0.1440

Actual charges depend on model-specific billing rules and your usage record.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Ask better questions before you connect.

01 / COST

Separate input, output and cache.

Compare the same workload using the same units.

02 / CAPABILITY

A model label is not a test result.

Validate images, tools and context separately.

03 / SERVICE

Read the sample, not just the percentage.

Keep the observation window and sample count visible.

INDEX / 03

Field notes

Application-level workload design. Confirm batch, image, and audio capabilities separately for the current model and protocol.

NEXT / NEXOTOKEN

Take the checklist into your workflow.

Check current models and pricing on NexoToken, then validate a small task before expanding.
