Description
Token Wise is a comprehensive browser extension designed to help users understand and optimize the cost of their AI prompts across various leading platforms. It provides real-time token cost estimates for services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Poe, OpenRouter, ChatHub, TypingMind, and You.com. Beyond just estimation, the extension offers a unique one-click rewrite feature that refines prompts to be both more cost-effective and clearer, with options like Balanced, Shorter, Clearer, or More Specific.

The tool operates with a strong emphasis on privacy. By default, prompt text, live cost estimates, settings, preferences, and local optimization history remain on the user's device. Prompts are only sent over HTTPS to the rewriter endpoint when the 'Optimize' button is clicked, and even then, they are never stored, logged, or shared. In cases of network failure, the extension gracefully falls back to a fully offline, local rewriter. An optional API monitoring feature, disabled by default, allows users to estimate their spend across direct browser calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and Perplexity APIs, capturing only metadata like model ID, request/response size, and timestamp, never prompt content or sensitive data.
Token Wise integrates seamlessly into the user's workflow, displaying token count and credit estimates next to the prompt box as they type, color-coded by spend. It provides a clear comparison between original and optimized prompts, showing token and credit differences, along with actions to copy or use the optimized version. Users can track their savings with daily, 7-day, and total-saved statistics, and access a 100-prompt history page with CSV export. The extension calculates costs based on each model's published per-token rate, ensuring transparency and accuracy. It supports Chromium browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera, and includes a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift + O) for quick optimization.
For users requiring more extensive features, Token Wise offers Pro and Power plans. The Free plan includes live cost badges, 5 cloud optimizations per day, unlimited local rewrites, and a 100-prompt history. The Pro plan, available for $4.99/month or $39.99/year, significantly increases cloud optimizations to 1,000 per month, offers access to Gemini 3 Flash Preview for faster processing, a 500-prompt history with JSON export, custom focus presets, a side panel workspace, and priority support. The Power plan, priced at $190/year, provides 500 cloud optimizations per month, Gemini 3 Pro Preview for highest-quality reasoning, research and coding scaffolds, all Pro features, and early access to new functionalities. The pricing structure is designed to cater to different usage volumes while maintaining a commitment to privacy and transparency.
