Costs by engagement
Each engagement can be its own project, with its own usage and its own line on the bill.
Consultancies, law firms, accountants and agencies increasingly deliver through software: client portals, document review, research assistants, bespoke tools built for one engagement. Compute runs them for less than the leading cloud on the same machines and models, and itemises every charge by project, so infrastructure can be attributed to the engagement that used it.
Used by independent practices, mid-sized firms and global partnerships.
What this looks like in practice
Each engagement can be its own project, with its own usage and its own line on the bill.
Summarise and classify documents with AI inference billed per token, at 30% under the leading cloud’s model service for the same model.
Projects, databases and storage separated per client as a configured property, not a convention.
Stand up a bespoke tool for an engagement, hand it over or switch it off, and pay only for the time it ran.
Firms often absorb technology costs into overheads because they cannot see which client caused them. When every charge is itemised by project at a published price, technology becomes something you can scope, quote and recover.
A due-diligence exercise needs a data room, a review assistant and a portal for the client. On Compute that is one project: storage in Cloud Services, review on AI inference, the portal on Panel. At the end you can see precisely what it used, recover it from the client if the engagement allows, and close it.
Client-facing portals hosted on Panel, on your own domain, with access granted and recorded per person.
Build assistants over your own precedents and research, with the data staying in your account.
From repository to working demo in an afternoon, for the pitch or the workshop.
Where each client’s data lives is configured and held to, so it matches what your engagement letter says.
Compared with the leading cloud's own published on-demand prices, US East. Every comparison.
Your data stays in your account and is used to serve your requests. If you have specific contractual requirements, send them to us and we will tell you plainly whether we meet them.
Residency, access records and separation between clients are configured properties of your account. For any specific attestation your regulator or clients require, ask us directly and we will tell you what we hold today.
No. The free allowances cover a small practice’s portal and database, and everything else is billed by use. The same platform serves a sole practitioner and a global partnership.
Create a project per client or engagement. Every charge on the bill is grouped by project and priced at a published rate.
Run agents, the tools they call and the models behind them on one platform, billed by the token and the second, for less than the same work costs on the leading cloud.
Host the landing pages, attribution pipelines and onboarding flows that bring customers in, and spend less on the infrastructure than you would on the leading cloud.
Run campaign sites, personalisation, content pipelines and marketing data on one platform that costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines and models.
Run the forms, enrichment jobs, scoring models and routing that turn interest into leads, for less than the same infrastructure costs on the leading cloud.
Run CRMs, sales data, call analysis and AI assistants on one platform, priced under the leading cloud for the same machines, databases and models.
Host creator platforms, media processing, storefronts and AI tools on infrastructure that bills by the second and costs less than the leading cloud for the same machines.
Begin with one workload. Keep what you have running. Decide whether to continue once you have seen it carry something real.
No migration required to begin. Nothing to tear down if you stop.
