Quick answers

Is this an exact tiktoken count?

No. It uses a ~4 characters ≈ 1 token heuristic for English prose — fast and private (runs in your browser). For synced provider spend and Scout alerts, connect billing keys in TryTokka.

Does it send my text to a server?

Counting and cost math run in your browser — your paste is not uploaded to our servers for processing. Page analytics (if any) are separate.

How accurate is the dollar estimate?

List rates are catalog pins verified 2026-07-15. Live invoices can differ (discounts, batch, caching). Use TryTokka for synced spend.

Can I monitor real spend after counting?

Yes. Start a free TryTokka trial, connect billing keys, and Scout emails after daily sync when you cross a limit — usually within ~24h.

Want real invoice totals across providers? Start a free TryTokka trial — Scout emails after daily sync when you cross a limit (~24h).

List rates verified 2026-07-15. These are dated public list-rate pins for planning — not your provider invoice. Discounts, batch tiers, cache hits, and credits change the real bill. CI fails if pins drift from OpenRouter or the verification date is older than 90 days. Monitor live spend with TryTokka.

If a provider changes their usage API, TryTokka may temporarily show $0 or stale totals. We detect shape mismatches and zero-data streaks, email admins, and notify users who opted into alert emails. Click Sync now after a provider outage, or contact support if a connection stays empty after you know you have spend.
