How does billing frequency affect the bottom line?

Procurement teams can reduce per-seat costs by 20% by opting for annual billing. Standard seats drop from $25 to $20 per month, while Premium seats drop from $125 to $100 per month when paid annually. These plans are capped at 200 employees, after which organizations must negotiate Enterprise terms.

What are the costs for API and high-volume usage?

For organizations integrating AI into custom workflows, such as financial APIs or internal tools, the chat-latest model uses a consumption-based model. The current verified price is $5 per 1 million input tokens. This variable cost sits alongside fixed seat licenses and should be factored into total cost of ownership calculations.

Measuring the payback of AI seats

Determining whether a $125 monthly Premium seat is worth the investment requires measuring time saved against a manual baseline. NetLift enables finance teams to quantify this by tracking productivity gains across specific roles, such as short-term rental management or data analysis. By comparing seat costs and token spend against recovered labor hours, you can move from speculative AI adoption to a verified net return.
