NetLift and Olakai serve different roles in an AI strategy. NetLift is a management platform used to track the time saved and financial return of AI investments across an organization. Olakai provides the actual AI tools for employees and developers, with costs scaling based on the number of seats assigned.
NetLift pricing is tiered by feature set, while Olakai pricing is determined by headcount. Choosing between them depends on whether you need to deploy new AI capabilities or measure the fiscal impact of the AI tools you already use.

Break-even hours = seat price ÷ loaded hourly cost. Each seat pays for itself once it saves that much verified time per month.
How does the per-seat model affect Olakai budgeting?
Olakai charges per seat, which means the total cost grows as more employees or developers are onboarded. The Assistive tier is billed per employee, while the Agentic tier is billed specifically per developer. Both tiers offer the flexibility of deployment in either the Olakai cloud or a private customer cloud.
What is the break-even threshold for these tools?
To justify the cost of a seat, the employee must save enough time to cover the monthly fee. For Olakai Assistive at $5 per month, the break-even point is just 0.1 hours of saved time, regardless of whether the hourly staff cost is $50 or $100. The Agentic tier requires more significant savings, needing 0.5 hours at a $50 hourly rate to pay for itself.
To determine if AI tools are delivering a real return, organizations use NetLift to compare saved time against baseline staff costs. NetLift provides the evidence quality needed for finance teams to verify if the 0.1 to 0.5 hours of monthly savings per seat are actually being captured as recovered time or cost reduction.
