Fixed costs instead of a token bill.
With per-token billing, every question costs money. With kayetana, you pay for the platform, not for each request. Which fits better depends on how you use it.

Two ways to pay.
| kayetana | Per-token billing | |
|---|---|---|
| Basis | Flat fee for the platform | Tokens used |
| More users | No extra cost | More use, more cost |
| Long documents in context | No extra cost | Every token counts |
| Predictability | Fixed amount | Varies with usage |
| Light use | Fee and hardware still apply | Small amounts possible |
| Hardware | Mac Studio required | None |
| Control | Usage and monthly limit per key | Depends on provider |
We deliberately don't list prices here. kayetana pricing is available on request.
You see who uses how much.
Even without a token bill, you know exactly what's going on. kayetana shows tokens and requests per day, key and model, plus response time and error rate.
- Time ranges of 7, 30, 90 and 365 days
- Monthly limit per API key, status 429 when exceeded
- Unlimited users and requests in the package
What speaks for each model.
Flat fee: predictable
You know the cost up front. No month gets pricier because your team asks more.
Flat fee: whole team
Everyone can use AI without you counting seats.
Flat fee: long texts
Whole handbooks in context cost no more than a short question.
Per token: low entry
If you only use AI now and then, usage-based billing often costs less.
Per token: no hardware
Without your own machine, there's nothing to buy up front.
