Objections finance / finops raise — and our answers
We don’t pretend these don’t come up. Here’s how we respond.
Pricing page lists per-tier quotas in absolute numbers for the planned Pro and Team tiers. The cost dashboard shows last-30-days AI cost today. Web builds from the recent verified run cost $0.05-$0.40 in AI tokens; desktop builds do not yet ship end-to-end on prod, so we cannot quote desktop cost honestly until that lands.
Enterprise customers can consolidate to one master invoice. Per-tenant cost breakdown remains visible in the admin dashboard. We can also bill in USD or local currency on annual contracts.
BYO keys insulates you (you negotiate directly). On our managed gateway, we absorb modest provider pricing changes; we publish 30 days notice before passing any change through. Multi-model failover means we can also route to cheaper providers when quality permits.
