Jev cost planning
Plan Jev cost from input tokens × vendor unit price × questions strategy, not from a blog TCO. Snapshot date: 2026-09-21. Re-read vendor cards weekly.
Independent. First-party list price (vendor): $0.042 per million input tokens, output free. models. We do not sell keys or committed-use discounts.
Independent angle (cover, do not clone)
Win delta (pricing-and-cost): worked cost calculator per channel; date-stamped; free-tier caveats; no invented volumes.
Formula (yours to fill)
monthly_$ ≈ (avg_input_tokens_per_call / 1e6) × calls × unit_price × (1 + gateway_uplift)
avg_input_tokens ≈ filtered state + all question text. Official: state ingested once per request — batch questions on the same state.
Do not invent calls. Use last month’s ticket count or a measured pilot.
Channel unit prices (vendor cards, 2026-09-21)
| Door | Unit price we saw | Caveat |
|---|---|---|
| TypeSafe first-party | $0.042 / M input; output $0 | Waitlist; no public self-serve free tier on the models page |
| Vercel AI Gateway | Card repeats $0.042 / 1M input | Gateway/platform fees extra |
| OpenRouter | Card repeats $0.042 / $0 | Needs OR credit; 402 is theirs |
| Cloudflare Workers AI | “View pricing in dashboard” | Context card 32k |
Higher limits: TypeSafe says contact sales. We will not invent enterprise SKUs.
Levers that are documented
- Filter state (money + accuracy).
- Many questions, one state (parallel-questions cookbook: they publish 12.2× cheaper vs N calls on their example — vendor-measured).
- Pin versions so an alias move does not change token use silently.
- Do not generate with Jev (it cannot; chaining Choices is the expensive failure mode they warn about).
Worked example (illustrative volumes — replace with yours)
Suppose a pilot measured 800 input tokens/call and 200_000 calls/month on first-party HTTP:
800 / 1e6 × 200_000 × 0.042 ≈ $6.72 / month in TypeSafe list token fees.
That number is arithmetic on assumed volume, not a promise. Add retries, playground, and gateway markup yourselves.
What a finance partner should see
A dated sheet: door, unit price source URL, measured tokens/call, measured calls, retries, gateway uplift, and a note that output is free per TypeSafe’s card. No invented “industry average volume.” If they want 193× savings, send them the vendor blog and your harness, separately.
What this page does not claim
- No search-volume or “customers save 80%” claims.
- Launch-post commentary that prices may be subsidized is theirs.
FAQ
Are output tokens billed?
TypeSafe models page: output free; usage.output_tokens still appears.
Is there a free tier? Not described on the public models page we used. Third-party promos expire.
Does jev.pro sell tokens? No.
