Features
- 6 model clusters — Flash Reasoning, Fast General, Balanced Coding, Power, Vision
- Within-group optimization — recommends cheapest model that clears the capability bar
- Per-call billing — type freely for free; only "Run Estimate" deducts from Signal Loom account
- 3 free runs/day — local preview is unlimited; runs against your Signal Loom key
- Drag & drop — drop any text into the sidebar to estimate
- Keyboard shortcut —
Cmd/Ctrl+Lto open from anywhere - Model dispatch — select any model and it overrides the next prompt's model via
before_model_resolvehook - Rev-share ready — developers earn 23–28% revenue share on estimate calls
