Tools & trackers
Interactive, source-backed tools for working out what AI coding actually costs: model the cost per task, compare models head to head, and track prices and releases as they move. For the analysis behind them, read the blog.
- Cost-Per-Task CalculatorModel what an AI coding agent really costs per task, not per month, and find the cheapest model for the work.
- Model ComparisonPut two or three models head to head on the same task and see which is genuinely cheaper to finish the work.
- Subscription vs APIShould you pay for Claude Max, Cursor, or Codex, or use the API? Enter your usage and see the break-even.
- Model Release TrackerThe latest and upcoming AI models with release dates and per-token pricing, verified against primary sources.
- Coding Plan PricingMonthly subscription prices for every major AI coding tool, sorted cheapest first and dated to source.
- AI Coding AgentsThe 2026 landscape of coding harnesses: maker, interface, pricing model, and what each is best for.
- Memory Price TrackerWhy RAM prices are surging in 2026: DRAM spot prices vs. flat government indices, from free primary sources.
Every figure in these tools is read from the provider's official pricing or model page and dated. See the coding plan pricing and themodel release tracker for the underlying data.
