Traditional platforms often charge per user, which can become expensive and unsustainable for organizations trying to grow. For example, collaborative platforms might charge between €5 and €15 per user each month, while generative AI platforms could range from €20 to €70. Combining these costs can quickly become overwhelming. Plus, integrating these systems adds complexity and expense.
Our approach changes this outdated model by offering a fairer pricing structure:
- Fair and Transparent Pricing
- Instead of a per-user fee, we use a cost-plus model. This means:
- Platform Access Fee: A single fee to access the platform.
- Cost-Plus for Publications: Pricing depends on the number of publications or data shared, scaling with usage.
- AI Consumption-Based Pricing: Costs are based on actual AI usage, ensuring businesses pay only for the resources they use.
This method is more transparent and flexible compared to traditional models. - Avoiding Per-User Billing Pitfalls. Charging per user is like an electricity bill based on the number of devices, not actual usage. This can discourage platform adoption. For instance, some employees may use AI tools heavily, while others use them occasionally. Charging both the same isn’t fair. Our model ensures users can collaborate without worrying about costs.
- Encouraging Adoption and Scalability. Our flexible model encourages companies to adopt the platform across different departments. Whether for collaboration, community engagement, or project management, businesses can scale without fear of rising costs. This approach makes budgeting easier and promotes responsible resource use.
- A Customer-Centric Billing Approach. Our cost-plus model offers a mature way to bill for collaborative and AI solutions. It balances value with fair pricing, allowing companies to scale and innovate without cost concerns. This strategy empowers businesses to leverage generative AI and collective intelligence without outdated pricing constraints.
In summary, this billing strategy represents a significant shift, focusing on fairness, transparency, and scalability. It allows businesses to fully utilize generative AI without being held back by costs.
