Pricing logic for teams

Team budget instead of seat prices.

AI costs do not appear because someone sits in a chair. They appear when models do work. That is why a shared team budget is often more honest than a seat model that turns every additional user into fixed cost.

What we sell

Not the model. The workbench in front of it.

2342.ai runs the platform, API, team controls and budget logic. The models themselves come from several providers. That is deliberate. The real company problem is rarely: "We need one more model." It is: "Who may use what, what does it cost, and where does the data go?"

  • You pay for platform layer, budget logic and usage, not for every additional person in the team.
  • The models come from external providers. 2342.ai is the workbench in front of them, not the foundation model itself.
  • Existing tools can stay connected through the OpenAI-compatible API. The cost logic changes, not your whole operation.

What the calculator checks

First the fixed access layer. Then the rest.

The calculator deliberately separates two things: access cost and model consumption. Usage stays as its own budget and is held equal on both sides. That makes the extra fixed cost of seat pricing visible.

  • The calculator compares the access layer. Individual model provider prices are deliberately not the point here.
  • The usage budget is the same in both variants. That makes the extra cost of seat logic visible, separate from real model consumption.
  • For very small teams, a seat model can look cheaper on paper. The question is what happens once more people start using AI.

HTMX calculator

Run the numbers once and see what seats really do.

The result updates while you type. No dashboard theater. You see what access costs and which usage budget sits on top for real model work.

Assumption: the usage budget stays the same. This compares whether team access is paid per person or through one shared platform layer. Additional model usage remains visible as its own consumption block.

Comparison

Professional for 12 people

For teams that use AI daily, not just as an experiment.

Monthly fixed-cost difference €201
Classic seat model €600

Access: €300

Usage: €300

12 users x €25 per seat
2342.ai €399

Platform: €99

Usage: €300

Team access plus the same usage budget

With this assumption, the fixed access layer saves €201 per month.

Calculated over a year, that is €2,412 on the access layer.

At around 4 people, the pure access layer tips toward Professional at this seat price.

If your AI costs are attached to heads while models write the bill, change the logic.
