# Cut token costs by half URL: https://getunblocked.com/outcomes/save-tokens Without context, agents make mistakes and burn tokens on corrections. Unblocked gives them the full picture up front — 48% fewer tokens for the same task. --- **Tag:** Outcome ## The Problem Without context, agents make mistakes and burn tokens on corrections. Unblocked gives them the full picture up front, so production-ready code costs less. **48% fewer tokens** for the same task: 10.8M tokens with Unblocked vs. 20.9M tokens without. ## The Experiment We ran the same engineering task twice: once with Unblocked and once without it, using the same coding agent, codebase, and prompt. ## The Results with Unblocked - **48% fewer tokens** consumed - **60% cost savings** - **75% fewer correction cycles** ## Outcome Detail ### Token savings With full context on dependencies and consumption patterns, the agent produced code without expensive searching or discarded output. - Without Unblocked: 20.9M tokens - With Unblocked: 10.8M tokens (48% fewer) ### Cost savings Tokens translate to budget line items. At Claude Sonnet pricing, the same task cost $12 more without Unblocked. At scale across a team, that difference compounds quickly. - Without Unblocked: $20.30 - With Unblocked: $8.09 ### Reduced rework With connected understanding of module dependencies, API consumption patterns, and backwards compatibility requirements, the agent produced production-ready code on its first attempt. **Without Unblocked:** Broke backwards compatibility, 12 compilation failures, cascading module breaks. **With Unblocked:** Backwards compatibility preserved, tests pass across modules, matches team patterns. ## Related Outcomes - Mergeable code: - Reduce rework: ## Get Started - Start a free trial: - MCP setup: - Pricing:
