Forecastable spend

Approve the platform without signing a blank check.

Femi has been burned by usage bills that arrive after the fact. Before approving anything, he needs to see the cost of an import — and the savings — up front.

The reality today

Opaque, after-the-fact billing

Surprise invoices

Per-action pricing means the bill is unknowable until it lands — hard to budget, harder to defend.

No forecast

Incumbents quote a rate card, not a number for your actual volume.

Hidden line items

Search taxes, per-seat fees, and retrieval charges hide the true total.

Billing & forecast

Know the cost before you import

Forecast an import — documents, pages, growth, queries — and see one-time ingest, first-year total, and storage up front, next to what you save versus per-image incumbents. The current invoice itemizes ingestion, embedding, storage, and queries, so spend is predictable instead of a surprise.

FAQ

Common questions

How is ingestion priced?

Per page as documents are processed, so cost tracks the work actually done. The forecast shows it before you commit.

Are there per-seat or search fees?

No. Unlimited search and retrieval is included on every tier; you pay a platform subscription plus usage-based ingestion.
