Plan your AI spend in one place

AI costs sprawl across subscriptions, pay-as-you-go API tokens, GPU compute, and one-off training runs — and they add up fast. This planner lets you list every AI cost as a line item, group them by category, and instantly see your monthly total, annual projection, and cost per seat, so you can budget confidently and spot where the money is going.

How it works

Each line has a category, a name, a monthly amount, and a quantity (seats, units, or instances). The planner multiplies amount by quantity for each line, sums them into a monthly total, multiplies by twelve for the annual figure, and divides by your team size for the per-seat number. A category breakdown shows the share of spend going to subscriptions, APIs, compute, and training. Everything is saved in your browser so your plan persists between visits.

Tips for an accurate budget

  • Separate fixed from variable. Subscriptions are predictable; API and compute lines are not — add a 20–30% buffer to usage-based lines.
  • Track per-seat cost as your headline metric for comparing teams and justifying spend to finance.
  • Revisit monthly. AI pricing and your own usage both move quickly; reconcile the plan against actual invoices and adjust.
  • Add a contingency line so an unexpected usage spike does not blow the budget.
