What is Pricing?
Usage AI’s pricing model is designed to be simple, transparent, and performance-based, ensuring that you only pay when you realize actual savings.
How Does Usage AI Pricing Work?
Usage AI operates on a savings-based pricing model, meaning you are billed a percentage of the realized savings generated through our Flex Commitment Program. This aligns our success directly with your cost optimization outcomes—if you don’t save, you don’t pay.
Key Points of Usage AI’s Pricing Model:
- Performance-Based Fees
- You are charged a percentage of the savings achieved from cloud commitments optimized by Usage AI.
- This ensures that your costs are always proportional to the value you receive.
- Billing Cycle
- Billing occurs on a monthly basis, in arrears.
- You’ll receive your invoice in the month following the savings period, once your cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) finalizes and releases the usage and billing data.
- Data-Driven Accuracy
- Usage AI relies on finalized data from cloud providers to ensure billing accuracy.
- This approach eliminates estimation errors and guarantees that you’re only billed for verified, actual savings.
Example of How Billing Works:
- January: Usage AI optimizes your cloud commitments, generating $10,000 in savings.
- February: After your cloud provider finalizes January’s usage data, Usage AI calculates your savings and applies the agreed-upon percentage.
- Invoice: You receive your net-30 invoice in February, reflecting the savings achieved in January.
Why This Model Benefits You:
- Aligned Incentives: We succeed when you save—no hidden fees or upfront costs.
- Flexibility: No long-term contracts locking you in; our value is proven month after month.
- Transparency: Clear, data-backed billing based on real, measurable savings.
