I also always end up paying way more. And you use Claude sonnet as the model?

Yes. It depends on how far you get into it… I racked up $200 on a project yesterday because I debugged. I also created it an admin panel…which was how it got buggy. It was more complicated.
I think if you’re more a power user, you’re going to go deeper into really creating the app. $$$
If you just want something super simple that is going to come from 1 prompt (like my duo lingo clone I didn’t debug) just for fun, a few bucks will knock it out. $
And also, prompting well helps. The more you ask if to do… the more the cost grows.
