AI Coding Assistant Cost Guide

What does running an AI coding assistant cost at team scale? Code context is token-heavy: file contents, imports, surrounding code, and test suites all count as input. CostMyAI helps you forecast the real cost before deployment.

Coding assistant cost characteristics

  • Code context: 3,000-10,000 input tokens per request (file content + surrounding code)
  • Output: 200-2,000 tokens (code generation, explanation, review feedback)
  • Per developer at 50 requests per day: $15-150/mo depending on model
  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o: highest coding benchmark scores, higher cost
  • DeepSeek V3 and GPT-4o mini: strong coding scores at 80-90% lower cost per request
