What does the AI system really cost?

The calculator separates one-off implementation from monthly operations. Every assumption stays visible, is calculated only in this browser and can be kept identical across options.

The essential answer

Total cost is one-off integration and training plus recurring licences, usage, internal operations and support. A per-user licence price does not represent that TCO.

Your assumptions. Your total cost.

01 / FIT

A good fit when

  • two plans or architectures need comparison using the same assumptions
  • internal operating effort needs to be visible in the budget
  • the decision uses a 12- to 36-month horizon

02 / LIMITS

Not the first choice when

  • productivity gains are expected without a real baseline
  • unknown third parties are assumed to cost nothing
  • a binding provider quotation is required

The disclosed TCO formula

One-off integration and training are added to monthly user licences, API or additional tools, internal operating hours and external support. Monthly cost is multiplied by the selected assessment period.

How to compare fairly

  • Use the same period and user count for every option
  • Enter internal administration, quality assurance and governance as hours
  • Use only verified prices and record the plan date
  • Assess benefits separately against a measured process baseline

What the result does not claim

The calculation is a transparent planning estimate, not a quotation or return guarantee. Procurement, legal review, migration, taxes and unlisted third parties must be added where applicable.
