Metered AI bills grow as your AI gets better. Yours doesn’t have to.
Tools like Intercom charge $0.99 per AI resolution — the more tickets your AI clears, the more you pay. Bring your own key with Kerux and you pay your provider directly, in cents. Drag the sliders to see the gap.
Pennies with your own key — a short support reply is a few hundred tokens. Drag to match your provider.
Compares metered per-resolution AI billing to bringing your own key. Seat pricing is separate and flat either way.
Why the metered model punishes you
Per-resolution pricing means your bill scales with your own success. Automate more, pay more — forever. It’s a tax on the exact outcome you bought the tool for.
Why bringing your own key fixes it
The AI bill goes straight to your provider at cost — we never see it, mark it up, or meter it. Your Kerux price is one flat number per agent, so volume never moves it.
Control your AI key, and you control your support costs — this month and every month after.
