Pricing Matrix

The Pricing Matrix lets you define and manage per-model token pricing. Orbit uses these rules to calculate costs across the dashboard, analytics, and budget alerts.

Access

Navigate to /ai-orbit/usage/pricing.

Pricing Rules

Each pricing rule defines the cost for a specific model:

Field	Description	Example
Model	The model identifier	gpt-4, claude-3-opus
Provider	Optional provider name	openai, anthropic
Input Cost	Cost per 1 million input tokens	30.00 for $30/1M tokens
Output Cost	Cost per 1 million output tokens	60.00 for $60/1M tokens
Currency	ISO currency code	USD, EUR, GBP

Adding a Rule

Click "Add Rule" and fill in the form:

Model:        gpt-4-turbo
Provider:     openai
Input Cost:   10.00
Output Cost:  30.00
Currency:     USD

The rule is saved immediately and used for all subsequent cost calculations.

Cost Calculation

When calculating costs, Orbit:

1. Looks for an exact model match
2. Falls back to a partial match (LIKE query)
3. Returns $0 if no rule is found

$cost = $calculator->calculate('gpt-4', inputTokens: 156, outputTokens: 89);
// With gpt-4 at $30/1M in, $60/1M out:
// input_cost = 156 / 1,000,000 * 30 = $0.00468
// output_cost = 89 / 1,000,000 * 60 = $0.00534
// total = $0.01002

Editing Rules

Click the edit icon on any rule to modify it. Changes apply retroactively to analytics views (they recalculate on each page load).

Deleting Rules

Click the delete icon to remove a rule. Conversations that previously used this rule will show $0 cost until a new rule is added.

Importing Provider Pricing

Orbit does not ship with pre-configured pricing. We recommend adding rules for all models you use. You can find current pricing on your provider's documentation:

• OpenAI Pricing
• Anthropic Pricing
• Google AI Pricing

Programmatic Access

Manage pricing rules programmatically:

use Ashrafic\AiOrbit\Models\PricingRule;

// Create a rule
PricingRule::create([
    'model' => 'gpt-4',
    'provider' => 'openai',
    'input_cost_per_1m' => 30.00,
    'output_cost_per_1m' => 60.00,
    'currency' => 'USD',
]);

// Find a rule
$rule = PricingRule::where('model', 'gpt-4')->first();

// Calculate cost
$calculator = app(\Ashrafic\AiOrbit\Services\CostCalculator::class);
$cost = $calculator->calculate('gpt-4', 156, 89);

Multi-Currency Support

Each rule has its own currency. The dashboard displays costs in the currency symbol configured in config/ai-orbit.php:

'currency_symbol' => '$',

If you use multiple currencies, consider standardizing to one currency for consistent reporting.

Best Practices

1. Add rules for all models before starting cost tracking — otherwise costs show as $0
2. Update rules when provider pricing changes — Orbit does not auto-update pricing
3. Use consistent model names — match the identifiers your agents use in metadata
4. Set currency per provider if you work with providers billing in different currencies

Customization

Override the pricing matrix view:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ai-orbit-views

Then edit resources/views/vendor/laravel-ai-orbit/livewire/pricing-matrix.blade.php.
