💡 Deepseek Chat Token Counter Example:

Let's say you're planning to use Deepseek Chat for 100 customer service prompts per day. Each prompt is about 50 tokens. You want to optimize your Deepseek Chat usage costs.

Prompt Length: ~50 tokens per prompt

Daily Volume: 100 prompts × 50 tokens = 5,000 tokens/day

Monthly Volume: 5,000 × 30 = 150,000 tokens/month

Enter your prompt in the tool above and instantly see the exact cost for Deepseek Chat and how it compares to other models for your specific use case.

Understanding Token Counting

What are Tokens?

Tokens are the basic units that AI models use to process text. They can be words, parts of words, or punctuation marks. On average, 1 token ≈ 4 characters or ≈ 0.75 words in English.

Token Examples

• "Hello" = 1 token
• "ChatGPT" = 2 tokens (Chat + GPT)
• "Hello, world!" = 4 tokens (Hello, ,, world, !)

Why Token Count Matters

AI models charge based on token usage. Longer prompts use more tokens and cost more. Understanding token count helps you optimize prompts for both performance and cost.

💡

Pro Tips

Token counts are estimates - actual counts may vary slightly between models

Shorter prompts aren't always better - clarity and specificity matter more

Use this tool to estimate costs before deploying AI features in production

Different models may tokenize the same text differently, affecting costs
