FAQ’s

01 How does OpenAI pricing work?

Costs are based on tokens (input/output) and vary by model and usage type.

02 Does this replace a full cost analysis tool or quote from providers?

No. This is an estimation tool designed for quick planning and forecasting. For exact pricing, you’ll need provider-specific quotes and actual usage data.

03 Is my data safe when using the calculator?

Yes. The calculator doesn’t require credentials or billing data. All inputs are entered manually, and results aren’t stored unless you choose to submit them. Finout follows enterprise-grade security and compliance standards.

04 How can I reduce my OpenAI spend?

Cache prompts, use Batch for non-urgent jobs, and choose the right model tier for each workload.
