About QuoteFirst AI

QuoteFirst lets users obtain real‑time cost estimates (“quotes”) for AI prompts across hundreds of large language models. Users can submit a prompt or document (up to ~1 M tokens) via a web UI, REST API, SDK or MCP server, receive bids from models showing price and execution time, compare rationales, and select a model to run the task using their own API key. A Chrome/Edge extension enables on‑page quoting by right‑clicking selected text. Free tier offers 100 quotes/month; Pro tier raises the limit to 1 000 quotes/month.
