Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: seats vary in activity, so an average-based seat price can lose money on power seats. In practice the biggest savings come from pricing to the active-seat cost and monitoring heavy seats, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by computing AI cost per active seat and adding your target margin to set the seat price. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
Frequently asked questions
Do inactive seats cost anything?+
Little to nothing on AI — only active seats drive cost, which helps per-seat economics.
How do I handle power seats?+
Add usage caps or an overage charge so heavy seats stay profitable.
Are these prices up to date?+
Yes. The model prices behind this calculator are refreshed and reviewed daily, so your estimate reflects current provider rates rather than a stale snapshot.
