I built this after seeing teams overpay for AI by 40-70%.

Common story: founder builds a chatbot on GPT-4o, gets an $8,400 bill, then realizes Gemini Flash does the same job for $1,350.

The calculator shows instant cost breakdown across 9 providers with a scaling simulator (what happens at 10K users).

Also built an automated AI Cost Report (€299) — personalized architecture review + routing strategy, generated in under 5 min.

Would love feedback on what's useful.
