At 10 million calls per month, switching from $5.000 to $2.500 per million calls saves $25/month (50.0% reduction), totaling $300 in annual savings.
API pricing varies dramatically across providers, with per-million-call rates ranging from fractions of a cent to hundreds of dollars depending on features, scale, and service level. Understanding your actual usage patterns and comparing total costs at scale reveals opportunities for significant savings without compromising functionality.
Beyond raw pricing, evaluate API reliability, response times, documentation quality, and support responsiveness. A slightly more expensive API with better uptime and developer experience often delivers greater total value than the cheapest option, especially when factoring in reduced debugging time and fewer production incidents.
