SolutionGemini and Vertex AI Cost Optimization Service
We cut your Google spend without changing your product: same models where they're needed, cheaper routes where they're not, and every change tested on your evals.
At least 20% lower Google costs after our 10% fee, live in one day, or you pay nothing.
The Gemini levers we use
- Context caching: cached input on Gemini 3.8 Flash is a tenth of the input price.
- Batch Mode: half price.
- Thinking budgets: thinking is billed as output.
- The 2027 price change: Gemini 3.8 Flash doubles on January 1, 2027. We test alternatives such as Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite on your evals.
Prices: Gemini API pricing. Guide: how to cut Gemini API costs.
How it works
- Free teardown. 15 minutes on a usage export. You see your biggest waste and the first fix we'd ship.
- Live in one day. You change one base URL. We switch on caching, routing, batching, and prompt and output fixes in the gateway.
- Measured on your traffic. Cost per equivalent request against an agreed baseline, typically over 14 days, reconciled with your invoices.
- Pay only from savings. Our fee is 10% of verified savings. If your all-in bill isn't at least 20% lower after it, you pay nothing.

Frequently asked questions
How can I reduce my Google API costs?
Cache repeated prompts, move work that can wait to batch pricing, cap output and reasoning, and route simple requests to cheaper models after testing them.
Do you need to change our Google setup?
No. You point your base URL at apicuts; your models and prompts stay the same unless you approve a change.
