AI usage & cost
What we pay AI providers for work that runs on Jackpost AI’s own keys. Anything a customer routes to an AI account they connected is billed to them, so it isn’t counted here.

Cost per day
Stacked by model. Estimated from token and image counts at list price.
September’s estimate was $612 and providers invoiced $604, 1.3% apart. Today’s bar is still filling.
Budget
Staff get an email and a console alert when the forecast crosses the line.
On course for 83% of budget, past the 80% alert.
Daily cap per account
Catches runaway loops. Work on their own AI accounts is never capped.
Worth a look
Spikes, thin margins, and customer keys falling back to ours.
Atlas Freight made 141 images in 50 minutes
8 Oct, $26.86 — 3.4× their usual day. Mostly retries on one carousel.
Mosaic Studio has the thinnest margin of any paying customer
51% on credits, mostly images. AI costs us 15% of their Starter plan.
Synapse Labs’ own Azure OpenAI key is failing
Rejected (401) since 2 Oct. 14 runs fell back to Jackpost Fast, costing us $2.31.
Northwind Logistics’ own Anthropic key is rate limited
429s on 11 and 12 Oct. 63 runs fell back to Jackpost Writer, costing us $4.12.

By model
The three models behind Jackpost AI’s own keys, and what each provider charges.
By feature
What one run costs us against the credits it charges. A credit is worth $0.01 at pack prices.
By account
Only runs on our keys. Accounts with their own AI connected show how much of their work went there instead.
