How to write better AI prompts
What OpenAI, Anthropic and Google now advise, and which popular tricks don't work.
Paste a prompt before you send it. PromptSaver rewrites it for a better answer on the first try, shows what it will cost, and names the cheapest model at each AI company that does the job well.
What 1,000 typical prompts a month cost on each company's newest top model, at list prices. OpenAI's is 5.6 times what it was in December 2025, Anthropic's has doubled, and Google's doubles on December 1.
“Typical” is the site's monthly mix of about 1.1 million tokens in and 0.56 million out. PromptSaver's figure assumes each prompt goes to the cheapest model that handles it well, plus the $5 Pro plan.
The biggest saving is the model. Across the 116 real-world prompts in our prompt library, the improved prompt on the model we recommend costs under half of the original prompt on Claude Sonnet 5.5, and under a fifth of the original prompt on Claude Opus 5.5, at today's list prices.
A product description doesn't need a frontier model. We sort each task by difficulty and name the cheapest model at each company that does it well.
Every answer that misses the point means another paid message. A clear prompt with the details the AI needs gets it right the first time.
Greetings, hedging and repeated context are paid for on every message. We cut them without touching what you asked.
Answers cost about five times more per token than prompts. One line about format and length often saves the most.
Every new message re-sends the whole conversation. Pro turns a long chat into a short brief for a fresh start.
On a $20 plan you pay in messages, not dollars. Fewer do-overs means more done before you hit the limit, and less reason to pay for a $100+ plan.

Coming soonOnly the ones you choose to save. A prompt you optimize is sent to our AI provider only to do the rewrite, and isn't kept unless you click Save, which puts it in My prompts, private to your account. We keep counts (tokens, task level, estimated costs) so you can see your savings.
Yes, mostly through the model you use. Across the 116 prompts in our library, the improved prompt on the model we recommend costs under half of the original prompt on Claude Sonnet 5.5, and under a fifth of the original prompt on Claude Opus 5.5, at today's list prices. A better prompt isn't always shorter, since it sometimes adds details the AI needs, but it gets the right answer sooner, so you pay for fewer do-overs.
Yes, as better answers on the first try and more messages before you hit your plan's limit. Dollar figures on this site are pay-per-use list prices, so they matter most if you or your company pay per token.
Every optimization costs us a little in AI fees, and limits keep bots from running up the bill. Free accounts get 10 a day and Pro gets 100 a day; Quick trim is always unlimited.
Yes, with PromptSaver for Chrome: a free side panel that sits next to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. It rewrites what you've typed and puts it back in the message box, and inserts your saved prompts. Or paste a prompt here in any browser.
Claude Haiku 5.5 for everyday rewrites and Claude Sonnet 5.5 for Pro's deep optimize. Our model advice covers Anthropic, OpenAI and Google equally, and nobody pays for placement.
No. PromptSaver at promptsaver.com is a prompt optimizer, and it isn't connected to other apps or extensions with similar names. It also has My prompts, a free place to save your own prompts and reuse them with fill-in blanks, and our guide to saving and reusing AI prompts compares every other option.
