FREE TCO CALCULATOR · BUILD VS. BUY

Should you build or buy your AI billing infrastructure?

A free, working calculator that models the true three-year cost of building your billing system versus buying it — side by side, on your own engineering rates, timelines, and usage. The first of its kind built for AI infrastructure.

BUILD

BUY

Illustrative. Your real numbers may point either way: that’s what the calculator is for.

What You’ll Get

Your decision, as a number - not an opinion

Most teams settle build vs. buy in a meeting, on instinct. This settles it with your own math, in an afternoon.

1. Your 3-year build cost, itemized

Across all 16 components a billing system actually requires: not the 3 or 4 most teams scope.

2. Your 3-year buy cost

Modeled on your real usage and growth, not a generic benchmark.

3. The crossover point

Exactly where building stops being cheaper than buying: on your numbers.

4. Time-to-first-pricing-model

For each path: because the roadmap cost is as real as the dollar cost.
