About & Transparency
Independent LLM FinOps Tooling
LLM Cost Intelligence is built and maintained by an independent student software engineer in India as a zero-infrastructure, privacy-preserving developer utility.
Editorial & Pricing Verification Standard
Every rate card, caching threshold, batch discount exception, and long-context price tier in our registry is manually audited against official provider pricing pages and stamped with a lastVerifiedDate and direct officialSourceUrl. We do not scrape unverified community spreadsheets or assume flat 50% batch discounts across providers.
Monetization & Affiliate Disclosure
To keep this calculator 100% free with zero paywalls or accounts, the site may display clearly labeled editorial advertisements (Google AdSense) separated from interactive calculator controls.
If future versions include cloud or developer infrastructure referral links, those links will be explicitly labeled as Partner / Affiliate Links (rel="sponsored nofollow noopener") and will never influence model cost sorting or benchmark calculations.
