AI cost gateway 40–70% lower spend · 15–35% more runway Pays for itself — or it's free

Smart AI tooling that respects your wallet, your limits — and your privacy.

Before you upgrade your plan — or downgrade to a weaker model — try TokenBeaver first. Stretch what you already pay for.

TokenBeaver sits on your machine, trimming the fat from every request before it leaves your editor — same answers, fewer tokens. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and anything OpenAI-compatible; local-first, so your code, your keys, and your prompts stay yours.

Who it's for

Two kinds of AI users. One kind of waste.

API keys · Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter

I pay per token

Every extra token shows up on your invoice — so you drop to a cheaper model to save money, and the results slip. TokenBeaver trims the waste before it's sent, so you stay on the frontier model for 40–70% less. No downgrade required.

I'm on a monthly plan

You don't get a bill — you get a wall. The 5-hour window runs out and you're locked out mid-task. TokenBeaver makes each request lighter, so your limit goes 15–35% further. The jump to Max is $80/mo — push it further out for $10.

Do the math first

Try TokenBeaver before you switch.

Hit a limit or a big bill, and the reflex is to upgrade the plan or downgrade the model. Both cost you. There's a cheaper first move.

Upgrade the plan
+$80 / mo

The jump from Claude Pro to Max — a permanent bump to your bill to buy headroom you may not need yet.

Downgrade the model
Worse output

Dropping to a cheaper model to save money — until the results slip, the retries pile up, and you lose the time you saved.

Try TokenBeaver first
$10 / mo · or free

Same plan, same model — just less waste. Stretch your limit 15–35% or cut your bill 40–70% before you pay a cent more.

How it works

A gate between your editor and the meter.

Three steps. One line of config. Your keys, your machine — TokenBeaver never sees your code or your account.

01

Intercept

Point your editor at TokenBeaver's local endpoint. One line of config — no SDK, no rewrite.

02

Optimize

We optimize both input and output, alongside context and cache. Every prompt stays on your machine.

03

Forward

A leaner request reaches the model with your own key. Same answer, fewer tokens, smaller bill.

Why TokenBeaver

Built to save money without holding your data hostage.

↯

Local-first by design

Prompts, code, and keys never leave your machine. TokenBeaver optimizes in-process.

$

Real cost reduction

Fewer tokens sent means a smaller invoice — 40–70% less spend on the same day's work.

◷

Make your plan last

On Claude Pro, Max or Copilot? TokenBeaver stretches a 5-hour window by 15–35% — roughly an extra hour of real work before the limit says stop.

⌘

Editor-native

Drops into Claude Code, VS Code, and others with a single endpoint change.

⊞

Your keys, your account

Bring your own provider keys. We never proxy billing or touch your model account.

◎

Savings you can see

Dollars saved if you're on API keys. Extra runway if you're on a plan. Every request is optimized — nothing hidden.

Why not the alternatives

Others watch. TokenBeaver acts.

Usage monitors tell you how fast you're burning. We slow the burn.
Cloud cost tools route your prompts through their servers. Yours never leave your machine.
Built-in compaction kicks in when you hit the wall. We work so you don't hit it.
Aggressive compaction loses context — the answer misses, and you ask again. We trim only what the model never needed, so it lands the first time.
