Ask HN: How do you track 2026 AI price wars? I built a tool to help

2•TokenCost•1h ago
"I built https://tokencost.is to solve a recurring headache: manually scraping dozens of provider pages just to estimate API spend for my agentic workflows.

My goal was a neutral, minimalist utility in the vein of Time.is. We now track 44 models—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Cohere—with hourly updates.

Key Features:

Real-Time Latency: We track TTFT benchmarks (e.g., Llama 3.1 at 28ms) alongside pricing.

Price Deltas: We track 24h market shifts; look for the ↑↓ indicators in the table to see how the 'AI Price War' is moving.

Multimodal Calculator: Handles Text, Audio, and Video tokens in a single UI.

100% Neutral: No affiliate bias or listing fees. Just raw data scraped hourly.

I’m not a developer by trade, so I used an agentic workflow to build the backend and scrapers. I found that being the 'product owner' rather than the 'coder' actually helped me focus on the data integrity and the specific multimodal features I needed for my own work.

I'd love to hear what other 2026 models or enterprise benchmarks the community would like to see indexed next!"

"Thanks for the heads up! I actually tried to submit it as a 'Show HN' initially, but as a first-time poster, I ran into a technical block with my account/domain. I'm a non-developer and this is my first release, so I'm still learning the ropes here. I'll see if I can get a moderator to help me move it to the right category. Appreciate the tip!"
