🏢 Enterprises

See, optimize and govern AI across the enterprise

For CIOs, CAIOs, CFOs, FinOps and AI platform teams. One view of every AI workload: what it costs, what it can reach, which rules apply and the evidence that they hold.

Is this you?

  • AI spend arrives from several vendors with no link to workflows
  • Security sees policies, not what happens at runtime
  • Teams ship AI faster than cost and governance controls can follow
Priced on governed scope, not on consumption. You pay for the workloads AICost governs. No token markup, no share of your AI bill and no share of savings, so our price never grows because your usage does.

Where the savings come from
🤖 Model inference and agent turns$26,304 → $10,717/mo Prompt caching using the AICost Prompt Caching engine −$1,837 (7%)
Repeated instructions and documents are cached, so you pay less for the same prompt text. *; Loop cap using the AICost Agent Loop engine −$11,410 (43%)
A ceiling on turns and tokens per agent run, so a stuck agent cannot run up the bill.; Model routing using the AICost Model Router engine −$2,341 (9%)
Routine steps run on a cheaper model; critical steps stay on the primary model. *
🧑‍💼 Human review$15,840 → $7,920/mo Better grounding using the AICost Human Review engine −$7,920 (50%)
Answers come only from your approved sources, so fewer cases go to a person. *
What it means against the AICost price: Monthly savings on this one workload cover the Continuous Enterprise fee 5.2 times.

Questions

What is in the Enterprise Baseline?

AI inventory, the initial workload portfolio, the cloud, provider and billing picture, top cost concentrations, optimization opportunities, governance gaps, priority workloads, route and data policies, an executive baseline and a 90-day plan.

How is a workload counted?

One AI application or business process with its own outcome and governance boundary. See the definition on the services page.

Is the Workload Review fee credited?

Part of it is credited toward an enterprise plan if you upgrade within the credit window shown above.

What counts as a workload?

One AI application or business process with its own outcome and governance boundary. Steps inside it, such as models, agents and tools, are not counted separately.

Do you charge a percentage of AI spend?

No. AICost is priced on the workloads it governs. There is no token markup and no share of savings.

Methodology

  • All prices are USD per 1 million tokens, current as of 2026-10-18.
  • 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).
