Token-Based Calculator
Wisdom Gate provides predictable pricing. Here's how you can estimate your savings.
Inputs Needed
- Monthly input tokens
- Monthly output tokens
- Model you plan to use (GPT-5 or Claude Sonnet 4)
Formula for Saving
For each model: Savings = (Competitor Input Rate − WG Input Rate) × Input Tokens + (Competitor Output Rate − WG Output Rate) × Output Tokens
Example for Claude Sonnet 4: If you use 2M input tokens and 4M output tokens: Savings = (3.00 − 2.40) × 2 + (15.00 − 12.00) × 4 Savings = 0.60 × 2 + 3.00 × 4 = 1.20 + 12.00 = $13.20 per month
Practical Scenarios
Small Project Example
A chatbot using 0.5M input tokens and 1M output tokens on Claude Sonnet 4: Savings = 0.60 × 0.5 + 3.00 × 1 = 0.30 + 3.00 = $3.30 per month
Enterprise-Level Example
Data analysis platform using 10M input tokens and 20M output tokens (Claude Sonnet 4): Savings = 0.60 × 10 + 3.00 × 20 = 6.00 + 60.00 = $66.00 per month Over a year, that's $792.
