Price is only half of it: pick the cheapest model that gives answers your users accept. Many apps route most traffic to the cheaper model and send only hard requests, or only paying users, to the stronger one. Whatever the mix, the number that decides your margin is cost per user, because a few heavy users usually drive most of the bill.
List prices, standard tier, prompts under the long-context threshold. Averages hide your heaviest users: FiscaLLM shows this per real user.
FiscaLLM prices every OpenAI call with these rates, per user, and sets it next to what that user paid through RevenueCat, Stripe or a CSV. You see which users and which model lose you money. Free and open source. See the demo.
