1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using AI Cost Estimator (“the Service”), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

AI Cost Estimator is a free online tool that provides estimated API token costs for building software projects using AI coding agents. The Service compares pricing across multiple large language model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Meta, and others.

3. Disclaimer of Accuracy

All cost estimates provided by the Service are approximations only. Actual costs may vary significantly depending on:

• Changes in model provider pricing (which can change without notice).
• Prompt engineering efficiency and coding patterns.
• Caching, rate limiting, and other API-level optimizations.
• Project-specific complexity beyond the scope of our estimation model.

The Service should not be used as the sole basis for financial or business decisions. We recommend verifying pricing directly with model providers before committing to large-scale AI coding projects.

4. Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE OPERATORS OF AI COST ESTIMATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

The Service, including its design, code, calculation methodology, and content, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works based on the Service without explicit written permission.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service.
• Use automated tools to scrape data or content from the Service.
• Interfere with the proper functioning of the Service.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
