Track Your Savings - New Statistics Page Shows How Much You're Saving

Track Your Savings - New Statistics Page 📊

Ever wonder how much money you're actually saving with batch translation? How many API calls you've avoided? Whether your usage is trending up or down?

We hear you. Numbers matter. Seeing your savings matters even more.

That's why we built the Statistics Page - your personal dashboard showing exactly how batch translation impacts your wallet and usage patterns.

Why Statistics Matter 💡

You've enabled batch translation (smart move!). But without data, you're flying blind:

🤔 "Am I really saving that much?" - No way to know
📉 "Is my usage increasing?" - Just a guess
💰 "How does this month compare?" - Pure speculation

The Statistics Page changes everything.

Knowledge is Power: Real data helps you optimize your settings, understand your patterns, and prove the ROI of batch translation.

What You'll See 👀

At a Glance Metrics

Four powerful metric cards greet you the moment you open Statistics:

Metric	What It Shows	Why It Matters
Original Request Count	How many API calls you would have made	Your baseline without batching
Batch Request Count	How many API calls you actually made	Your real API usage
Requests Saved	The difference (your efficiency gain)	Proof of savings
Trend Indicators	↗️ Increase or ↘️ Decrease from previous period	Spot patterns instantly

Each card shows comparison with the previous period - so you can see if things are getting better or worse at a glance.

Green arrows are your friends: ↗️ on "Requests Saved" means you're getting even more efficient!

Visual Insights 📈

The Savings Chart

Numbers are great. Charts are better.

Our interactive chart visualizes your batch translation activity over time:

📅 Flexible time periods: View 5, 7, 30, or 60 days
🎨 Theme-aware: Beautiful in both light and dark mode
📊 Two data series:
- Original Requests (what you would have paid)
- Batch Requests (what you actually paid)

The gap between the lines? That's your savings.

Real-World Example

Imagine you're a student translating research papers:

Period	Original Requests	Batch Requests	Saved	Percentage
Week 1	450	85	365	81%
Week 2	520	98	422	81%
Week 3	380	72	308	81%

Consistent 81% savings = You're using batch translation effectively!

Spot Issues Early: If your savings percentage suddenly drops, it might mean:

Your batch settings need adjustment
You're translating different content types
Time to optimize your configuration

Understand Your Savings

The savings percentage prominently displayed tells you:

Savings % = (Original Requests - Batch Requests) / Original Requests

Translation? If you see 75%, you're making 4 API calls instead of 16 for the same work.

Typical Savings Range: Most users see 60-85% savings. If you're below 50%, consider increasing your batch size in settings.

Perfect For These Scenarios ✨

What the Numbers Mean 💭

Let's break down a real example:

Your Statistics Show:

Original Request Count: 500
Batch Request Count: 100
Requests Saved: 400
Average Savings: 80%

What This Means:

If your provider charges $0.01 per request:

Scenario	Cost
Without Batching	500 × $0.01 = $5.00
With Batching	100 × $0.01 = $1.00
You Saved	$4.00 (80%)

Scale this over a month of heavy usage? Savings add up fast.

Pro Move: Screenshot your statistics before and after adjusting batch settings to see what configuration gives you the best results.
