Super useful breakdown of LLM pricing across models. The challenge I keep running into is that pricing pages don't tell you what you'll actually spend — that depends on your usage patterns, which models you mix, and how much back-and-forth your workflows involve. I started using TokenBar (tokenbar.site) to track real-time costs across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot right from the macOS menu bar. It's been eye-opening to see actual vs. expected costs side by side. Highly recommend for anyone trying to budget their LLM spending.
