Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between tokens and words?
A word is a whitespace-separated unit; a token is the unit an LLM uses (roughly 0.75 words for English, but it varies by language and tokenizer). Token count matters for model context limits and API billing.
Is the token counter free?
Yes — 5 free counts per day per IP, no signup. After the daily limit you can continue via the DeFi Intel Agent Gateway API (pay-per-use) or a prepaid API key.
What does "trim to budget" do?
It truncates your text to fit the token budget you set, and reports how many tokens were kept versus dropped — useful for fitting prompts into a model's context window.
