ABOUT THIS GUIDEBOOK
Building with AI isn't just about choosing the right model, it's about understanding the economics that can make or break your project. We've seen too many promising AI initiatives crash and burn not because of technical failures, but because teams underestimated the real costs involved. That is why we dedicated this paper to breaking down how to think about AI models from a cost perspective.
This isn't another theoretical deep-dive. This is a practical guide born from real-world experience, designed to help you navigate AI costs before they navigate you out of business.
This guide is for companies, founders, decision-makers building WITH AI, not building AI itself. If you want to create the next ChatGPT, this paper is not for you. However, if you are someone who wants to take certain elements of the AI ecosystem off the shelf, add value to them in the form of your own experience and resources, you are in the right place.
What we've done for you:
-
Dug through the pricing maze so you don't have to: we list current pricing methods, discounts, and real numbers (even knowing they might change by publication)
-
Identified timeless principles that serve as reference points even when specific prices shift
-
Created frameworks that give you confidence to launch your first AI project with the best chance of success
What you'll discover:
