How this service works
Compare realtime and batch API cost for a workload with your discount fraction, and the money saved by waiting.
Output
Returns realtime total cost, batch total cost, savings amount, discount percent applied, cost per request for both modes, a verdict on whether batch is worth it, a human-readable summary, and optional reasons or disclaimers. May also include degraded/source/asOf metadata fields.
Example use cases
Evaluate batch savings for annotation pipeline
“I'm running a data annotation job — 200,000 requests, 500 input tokens and 100 output tokens each, at $3 per million input and $10 per million output. With a 50% batch discount, how much would I save by using batch mode instead of realtime?”
Decide whether batch delay is worth it for nightly summaries
“We run 5,000 document summaries overnight with 2,000 input tokens and 400 output tokens each. Our provider charges $8 per million input and $20 per million output tokens. With a 50% batch discount, what's the cost difference between realtime and batch, and is waiting worth it?”
Compare batch vs realtime cost for model fine-tune eval runs
“I need to evaluate outputs for 1,000,000 requests with 300 input tokens and 50 output tokens at $1.50 per million input and $2 per million output tokens. Apply the default 50% batch discount and tell me the total savings and cost per request for both modes.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://llm-cost-calc.x402tookit.com/batch-discount?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured comparison of batch vs. realtime LLM API costs for a defined workload — especially when you have your own per-million-token prices and want to quantify savings from a specific discount fraction. Prefer it over manual spreadsheet math or generic cost calculators when building automated pipelines that need to decide whether to queue work for batch or process immediately.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameters (inputTokens, outputTokens, requests, inputPricePerMTok, outputPricePerMTok) returns an error
- Non-numeric or out-of-range values (e.g. requests > 1e9 or batchDiscount > 1) may return validation errors
- Service degradation indicated by degraded=true flag in response with partial results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks access if USDC balance is insufficient
