Token Counter

Paste text, estimate tokens instantly, and move to model-specific cost pages when you need pricing conversion.

How to use this tool

  1. 1. Paste a prompt, message, or document excerpt into the input area.
  2. 2. Use the estimated token count to compare prompt variants before shipping changes.
  3. 3. Open a model-specific token calculator page when you need provider/model-specific cost planning.

Common mistakes

  • Treating estimated tokens as final billed cost without model pricing and retry behavior.
  • Ignoring hidden token growth from system prompts, history, and tool outputs.
  • Using one sample prompt as a monthly budget without production usage tracking.

When to use the dashboard instead

Token Counter is great for quick estimates. Use AI Cost Board when you need project-level tracking, alerts, request logs, and multi-provider reporting in production.
