CostAssess Step 1 of 4

Know every AI workload you run, what it costs and where the gaps are

CostAssess reads the systems you already run, prices every workload with 120+ AICost engines and gives you a ranked plan of what to fix first.

  • Every AI workload, team and vendor in one view, shadow AI included
  • Spend, waste and cost per business outcome for each workload
  • Risks and savings ranked, with a 90-day roadmap
AI Assessment: AI inventory, data and readiness, workflows and agents, risk profile, cost and ROI, priorities

Where it fits in AICost.ai

Builds onStarts here. Nothing else needed.
FeedsEvery workload it finds goes to CostWall for limits, CostProtect for rules and CostProof as the savings baseline.

What you get

Full AI visibility

A clear view of how AI is used today, across Microsoft 365, cloud and vendor APIs.

Cost and value per workload

What each workload costs, where the waste is and what it returns.

Risk you can act on

Security, privacy and compliance gaps, each graded by evidence.

Clear priorities

What to fix first and what to scale next, with the savings for each.

How it works

  1. Connect read-only

    Microsoft 365 and Entra, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, your gateways and FinOps exports. No agents to install.

  2. Short questionnaire with our team

    Only what data cannot tell us: your policies, data classes, owners and business outcomes.

  3. Engines price and grade

    Each workload priced step by step from one price database; each finding graded by evidence.

  4. Report and roadmap

    A ranked plan, and one click to wall, protect and prove each workload.

AICost.ai pricing data keeps our calculations accurate across top AI and cloud vendors · last updated 2026-10-24

Methodology

  • All prices are USD per 1 million tokens, current as of 2026-10-24.
  • Vendor-published values have no mark. Inferred/extrapolated values are marked with * and listed below.
  • Batch API discounts are 50% off standard rates across providers that offer Batch mode.
  • Prompt caching discounts vary by provider (typically 80-90% off cached input tokens).
  • Regional data-residency surcharges (Anthropic 1.1x, OpenAI 1.1x, Google regional tiers) are NOT included in base rates.
  • Long-context pricing tiers apply when input exceeds model threshold.
  • Embedding prices are input-only (no output tokens generated).
