SolutionOpenAI API Cost Optimization Service
We cut your OpenAI 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 OpenAI costs after our 10% fee, live in one day, or you pay nothing.
The OpenAI levers we use
- Cached input: GPT-6.1 Sol's cached input costs $0.10 per 1M tokens against $2.00. We restructure prompts so the shared prefix caches.
- Batch: half price for work no one is waiting on.
- Model choice: GPT-6 Luna is a twentieth of GPT-6.1 Sol's price; we test it, and GPT-6.1 Terra, on your evals.
- Output and reasoning: limits and effort set per call site.
Prices: OpenAI API pricing. Guide: how to cut OpenAI 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 OpenAI 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 OpenAI setup?
No. You point your base URL at apicuts; your models and prompts stay the same unless you approve a change.
