Enter tokens, batch discount, and volume to see monthly $ saved vs realtime list price.
Batch vs realtime pricing compares monthly spend at list (interactive) rates against a discounted batch API for jobs that can wait. OpenAI Batch and Anthropic Message Batches are often about half of list, but the multiplier is an input — your contract may differ. Chat and user-facing latency stay on realtime.
Use batch for overnight evals, embedding backfills, and report generation. Pair with LLM Cost for prompt sizing and Cache Savings for the interactive path.

Enter input and output tokens per request, set the batch multiplier, add batchable RPS, and pick models. Export realtime versus batch monthly totals. The models are not called. Confirm the multiplier with your provider.
Enter input and output tokens per request.
Set the batch price multiplier (0.5 ≈ half of list).
Add batchable RPS and models to compare.
Export the monthly realtime vs batch table.
No. Half is a common public starting point, not a law. The multiplier is an input. Start at 0.5 for OpenAI-style Batch, then change it if your invoice says otherwise.
No. Batch APIs add hours of delay. Keep chat and interactive tools on realtime. Batch the work that can finish overnight. Mixing those jobs in one RPS number will lie about both latency and cost.
