You may be shocked at how inexpensive some of the LLMs are these days.
Google Gemini 1.5 Flash 8B charges $0.04/million input tokens and $0.15/million output tokens.
If a piece of content that needs to be moderated is 1,000 tokens (that's pretty long!) and you expect a 10 token return it will cost you 0.0039 cents - that's not a dollar amount, that's less than a 250th of a single cent.
So 1 cent will moderate 250 items of content. $1 will moderate 25,000 items of content.

LLMs are dirt cheap. You can play around with pricing across different models using my calculator here: https://tools.simonwillison.net/llm-prices
