# About Stowly

We got tired of guessing what a prompt would cost.

Every provider hides pricing behind a table nobody reads until the invoice arrives. We wanted a place to paste a prompt, pick a model, and just see the number — before shipping, not after.

So we built stowly. No dashboards, no login, no seat pricing. Just the cost of your prompt, priced the same way it'll actually run.

## Stats (live)

- 1 provider live (Anthropic)
- 12 models tracked, rates last checked Sep 28, 2026
- Current build v0.1, refreshes every 5 min

## What we believe

1. **Prices should be boring** — costs shouldn't need a spreadsheet to understand.
2. **Free stays free** — the calculator will never require an account.
3. **Rates, cited** — every number links back to where it came from.
