About CostMyAI

AI model costs vary by 150x. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive AI model for an identical workload is not 10%. It is not 2x. It is 150x. Most founders, CTOs, and enterprise AI teams discover this at the worst possible moment. After they have committed to a stack. After they have set their pricing. After growth has turned a manageable infrastructure cost into a structural margin problem. CostMyAI was built to close that gap before it opens. WHAT COSTMYAI DOES CostMyAI is the world's first business-first AI provider verdict platform. Not a token calculator. Not a developer pricing table. A business-first forecasting and verdict engine that answers the question every AI team should ask before they build: "What does this actually cost at scale?" You input your product type, your users, your revenue model, your ARPU, and the AI capability your product needs. CostMyAI outputs your AI infrastructure cost today, at 10x growth, and at 100x growth. Your cost per user. Your infrastructure burden as a percentage of revenue. Your breakeven ARPU. Your business risk classification. And the exact model you should be running instead if you are overbilling yourself. In 60 seconds. Free. No signup required. THE DATA 315+ AI models tracked. 53+ infrastructure providers monitored. Pricing synced every 6 hours from official provider documentation. Not estimates. Not cached data from 6 months ago. Live. Verified. Updated continuously. Providers covered: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, DeepSeek, Meta, Cohere, Qwen, and 44+ more. THE NUMBER THAT SURPRISES EVERY TEAM AI infrastructure runs 8% to 35% of revenue at scale across AI SaaS products. Most teams model 0%. The average AI cost underestimation is 10x to 100x. Not because teams are careless. Because nobody built a tool that made the number visible before the invoice arrived. CostMyAI makes it visible. WHO IT IS FOR Founders building AI-powered products who need to know if their unit economics survive at scale before they write the first line of code. CTOs and VPs of Engineering managing AI infrastructure costs across multiple teams, models, and providers. Enterprise teams running AI rollouts who need a business case, not a pricing page. Consultants and agencies advising clients on AI strategy who need defensible cost models, not spreadsheet estimates. Product managers and finance leads modeling AI feature costs against revenue targets. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Every other AI pricing tool is built for developers. CostMyAI is built for the person who owns the budget. The business-first calculator takes your business inputs — users, ARPU, growth stage, revenue model, AI ambition — and returns business outputs: margin impact, breakeven, risk classification, optimization opportunity. The recommendation engine scores every model across 12 dimensions: cost, quality, speed, scale efficiency, use case fit, reasoning fit, context fit, cache efficiency, margin impact, latency, batch suitability, and tokenizer inflation. Then it tells you exactly which model to run and how much you save by switching. The methodology is fully published at costmyai.com/methodology. Nothing is a black box. PRICING Free tier: full calculator access, no signup required. Pro: saved forecasts, PDF exports, advanced reports. Team: collaborative forecasting for engineering and finance teams. API: programmatic access to the full pricing database for developers and data teams. Founding Member pricing is live now for the first cohort.
