Normally to make a new smallish feature it costs me about $0.40. The core suggestion is to point specifically at the files you want it to read and use as a reference, otherwise it might go read some huge file for no reason. Also the tokens used depend on the size of the project. Generally, if I'm doing something I can box, I'd use chatgpt and copy it in myself. If I want something matching the style, I'd use a guided Roo Code.
