Ask HN: How much does Gemini API cost for a simple n8n workflow?
Got scared this weekend! Just built something with my Gemini API, then the tokens just burned so fast!!! My auto flow be like:
Running a workflow that fires every 4 hours, pulls ~150 RSS items, slices to 15, sends each to Gemini 2.5 Flash for scoring and draft generation. An this burned $5 in two days during testing. Wondering if that's normal or if I misconfigured something. What's your actual cost with N8N using Gemini?
And any tips for keeping it cheaper? I'm building my product now without funding and charging, so I have to manage my budget in every cent.
