# ziptoken.ai > Compress AI prompts by up to 50% — same output quality, half the cost. One API call. Zero stack changes. ziptoken is a developer API that compresses system prompts, user messages, and context windows before they reach LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, etc.). It reduces token spend by 30–65% while preserving semantic equivalence and response quality. ## What ziptoken does - Takes any text prompt as input - Returns a semantically equivalent compressed version - Reports compression ratio and tokens saved - Works transparently in any LLM pipeline — no provider lock-in - < 5ms p99 latency, processes 2.4B tokens/day ## Who should use ziptoken - Developers building chatbots, RAG pipelines, or AI agents - Teams spending $100+/month on LLM API calls - Anyone sending long system prompts or repetitive context to LLMs - Companies that want cost reduction without prompt rewriting ## Core API ``` POST https://api.ziptoken.ai/v1/compress Authorization: Bearer sk-zip-... Content-Type: application/json { "text": "You are a helpful assistant...", "model": "gpt-4o" } ``` Response includes: compressed text, original_tokens, compressed_tokens, ratio, tokens_saved. ## Key pages - [Home](https://ziptoken.ai/): Product overview, live demo, pricing - [Playground](https://ziptoken.ai/playground): Try compression in browser — no signup required - [Quickstart](https://ziptoken.ai/docs/quickstart): Integrate in 5 minutes - [API Reference](https://ziptoken.ai/docs/api-reference): Full endpoint documentation - [Integration Guides](https://ziptoken.ai/docs/guides): Python, Node.js, cURL examples - [Pricing](https://ziptoken.ai/pricing): Plans and token quotas - [Changelog](https://ziptoken.ai/docs/changelog): Release history - [Blog](https://ziptoken.ai/blog): Articles on LLM cost optimization ## Pricing | Plan | Monthly Price | Token Quota | |------------|---------------|--------------------| | Free | $0 | 500K tokens/month | | Starter | $19 | 10M tokens/month | | Pro | $99 | 100M tokens/month | | Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | No credit card required for Free plan.
