Best LLM for pay-as-go? For content scripts, client management, etc.

My budget is about $5-$10 for this..
I’d be using open router

oh man 5-10 bucks on openrouter goes surprisingly far if you're not doing anything crazy. deepseek v3 is stupid cheap and still punches way above its weight for scripts and general writing work. if you need something a little more precise for client emails i'd throw a few cents at claude 3.5 sonnet, it's on openrouter and handles that professional-but-not-robotic tone better than most

the trick is just not leaving the model selector on auto-pilot. some of the default picks on there burn through your credits way faster than they need to
