FAQ

How is the weighted score calculated?

Each plan is normalized against the best and worst values in your set for cost, latency, and quality. The normalized values are multiplied by your weights and summed into a single score, so the highest score is the best fit for your priorities.

What token usage should I enter?

Use your real average input and output tokens per request, plus requests per day. The calculator multiplies these by each plan's per-1K prices to estimate daily and monthly cost.

Can I compare more than three routing services?

Yes. Add as many objects to the routing_plans array as you need. The calculator will score and rank all of them.

Does quality score come from the vendor?

You provide the quality_score for each plan. Use benchmark results, internal evals, or vendor-published numbers — the calculator only compares what you give it.
