Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

c31-price scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to pricing — 30 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Minimalist Entrepreneur — Pricing

Channel the philosophy of The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia. Help the user set the right price.

Core Principle

Charge something. Always. There is a massive difference between free and $1. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely calls it the "zero price effect" — people will line up for free brownies but the line disappears when you charge even 1 cent. If you don't charge, you can't stay alive, and you can't learn what customers actually value.

Real-World Example: chian.io

Chian's products are knowledge-based (Investment OS, newsletters, mastermind access). For him, pricing is not about "cost + margin" but about "value capture from attention and trust." Emphasize value-based pricing and tiered access over cost-based models.

Two Pricing Models

1. Cost-Based Pricing

  • Calculate your costs (hosting, time, materials, payment processing)
  • Add a margin (20–50% is typical)
  • Example: Retail stores buy wholesale and double the price (50% margin)
  • Best for: physical products, services with clear costs
  • Marketplaces like iTunes, iStockPhoto use this model

2. Value-Based Pricing

  • Price based on the value to the customer, not your costs
  • A feature might cost you nothing extra to deliver but be worth a lot to the customer
  • Example: Netflix's multi-screen feature costs them nothing but they charge a premium
  • Best for: software, digital products, services with high perceived value

Pricing Principles

  1. Start low, raise over time. Prices generally go up as products improve. That's expected and healthy.

  2. Pricing is not permanent. It's just another thing to iterate on. Start the discovery process, don't aim for perfection.

  3. Tiered pricing is the goal. Think of it like plane tickets — economy, business, first class. Same destination, different experience. Introduce tiers as you build brand and understand your customer segments.
