Multi-vendor token comparison with specific cut recommendations and dollar savings at scale.

Strengths

•Uses actual API counts from each provider, not estimates or tokenizer approximations
•Cost projection at volume shows real business impact across providers
•Pattern-matching advisor identifies specific wasteful phrases with exact savings

Weaknesses

•Only optimizes input tokens, ignoring output costs that often dominate production
•Prompt optimization space already has PromptPerfect and various LLM IDEs

I cut LLM API bill by 55% with a Python text compressor, no AI involved

Prompt compression cuts token costs 40-60%, but it's lossless text optimization, not a novel insight.

NadirClaw, LLM router that cuts costs by routing prompts right

If you're burning through Claude/OpenAI credits, this is a low-friction stopgap: it classifies prompts in ~10ms and routes trivial tasks to cheaper/local models while reserving premium APIs for complex work. The agentic-task detection, reasoning-aware routing, session pinning and context-window fallback are practical touches that avoid mid-thread model bouncing and 429 failures. It isn't reinventing the space (OpenRouter and others exist), but it's focused on real-world cost tradeoffs and drop-in compatibility.
