TrackCost's gateway auto-detects which requests are safe to route to the cheaper model and flags the ones that need Claude 3 Opus's full capability. You stay in control — we surface the opportunity.
Claude 3 Opus costs $0.01500 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.07500 per 1,000 output tokens as of the current Anthropic API pricing.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is significantly cheaper than Claude 3 Opus (5× cheaper on input, 5× on output) and often works fine for tasks that don't need Claude 3 Opus's full capability. TrackCost automatically suggests model downgrades where safe.
The three highest-leverage ways: (1) route requests to a cheaper model where possible, (2) cache identical requests so you don't pay twice for the same response, (3) set hard monthly budgets that block requests when exceeded. TrackCost automates all three at the gateway layer.
