Yes. You have to find the provider with pricing that suits your usage.

I am having 98% my input in cache, so using Coralbricks makes sense due to them giving cache reads for free — you only pay for writes. I spend maybe 5-10 dollars a day and my agents basically work day and night implementing things for me.

If your tasks are write-heavy, find a provider with cheaper output.

If you build a customer-facing app, pay a bit extra for 400+ tok/s e.g. on Lithos.

You have all the struggles for the price of Anthropic / cursor subscription. I use the first one I code large chunks some PR are 50k LOC and I have at least 2-3 like this a week . It’s a greenfield project .

I still have quotas left I use it for home things build 3d model of my renovation projects, alerts for shopping list etc . And yeah I use cutting edge of cutting edge of models that saves me time and money , only discount monitor saved me ~$2k on my renovation project
