The public cost of an AI service
By Vladoi Ionut · 2026-10-08 · All insights
Cost, for a buyer, is the price on the card. That price is repeated on the service page, the guide, and checkout. If those three differ, trust the defect report, not a marketing sentence about optimization.
The site also has a public pricing experiment page at /transparency. Experiments are supposed to show impressions and conversions that actually happened. An empty experiment is not a winner. No page should crown a headline from zero visits.
Bitcoin checkout shows the discount the shelf already includes. It is not a second, secret price. Card and PayPal, when configured, are the same checkout, not a cheaper hidden catalog.
There is no shelf line that promises a percentage cut of your cloud bill. If you want a file, an audit, or a kickoff, pay for that. If you want a cost-cutting retainer, it has to be written as its own offer before it is a cart.
The useful optimization is the one you can recompute: open /guides, read the price, open checkout, and see the same figure. That check does not require an analytics vendor.
