| Anthropic | Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Haiku | ❌ Cloud | Pay per token |
| Google Gemini | Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 1.5 Pro | ❌ Cloud | Free tier available |

| Feature | Tokens (approx) | GPT-4o Cost | Claude Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root Cause Analysis | ~2,000 | ~$0.02 | ~$0.02 |
| Postmortem | ~4,000 | ~$0.04 | ~$0.04 |
