Scruuge's Verdict
Likely overpayment, per month(estimated)
Against your premium-tier usage, on typical assumptions
Scruuge's recommendation
Switch from Claude Sonnet 4.6 to DeepSeek V3.2
Typically saves ~$0/mo on comparable work
Content creation is highly portable across models — the Efficient tier handles marketing copy and social media at ~85% lower cost, with no quality loss.
This looks like significant overpayment. For content creation work, DeepSeek V3.2 typically delivers comparable results at a fraction of the cost.
Apply this as your default model for new sessions. In long multi-turn sessions, don't switch mid-thread →

Want the full breakdown with every savings opportunity ranked? Scruuge's $999 Assessment covers your entire setup.
This verdict estimates model costs. Before buying another platform, include setup, maintenance and migration.
How to read this. Scruuge gives relative guidance — which tier likely fits your workload and roughly what the gap is costing you. It is not an audit of your bill. The range assumes typical token mixes for this workload and public list prices; your actual spend depends on your contract, prompt caching, and real usage. Treat it as a starting point for a decision, not a figure to budget against.
What a $999 Assessment adds for this client
- Prioritized action list sequenced by ease × impact (not just a calculator snapshot)
- 12-month savings forecast — roughly $7,380/yr if top opportunities land
- Runaway-risk audit and agent guardrail recommendations
Ebenezer’s Pledge — Scruuge profits from your clarity, not your confusion. The calculator is free; the verdict is honest even when it means you spend less. We only win when you win. Paid referral links are labeled; payment does not determine our advice.
