How we monitor, verify, and publish price changes across 55+ calculators.
AI provider pricing can change without warning. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and DeepSeek have all adjusted rates multiple times in recent years. A calculator that doesn't update is a liability, not a tool.
That's why we've built a formal pricing update process — so you can trust that the numbers you see reflect reality.
We review all official pricing pages on the first Monday of every month.
We subscribe to provider newsletters, changelogs, and API status pages for immediate notifications.
Error reports from users often surface changes before our scheduled review.
