A 99-point product marketing audit runs $1,000 and a week of waiting, and ongoing marketing leadership from the same shop is $3,000 a month. The person selling both has published fifty of the checklists behind them on GitHub under MIT, and the interesting part is not the price.

Sorting forty thousand messy CRM records into clean buckets is nine dollars and sixty cents of model time as of this morning. The number is not the story. The footnote under it is, because on Monday the name you wrote in your config points at a different model and nobody sends a notice.

Three people on Sprout Social's Standard plan costs $7,164 a year and still caps the team at five social profiles. Postiz runs the same posting queue on an eighteen-dollar server with no plan and no limits, and the real bill is not the server. It is the month Meta takes to decide you are allowed to post.

Generating a fresh video for every product, every week, currently runs through a meter: a penny a render with a hundred-dollar monthly floor, and the free tier ends the moment four people touch it. HyperFrames renders the same MP4s under Apache 2.0 with no meter and no headcount threshold.

An answering service bills about $9.75 a call at the starter tier, and the AI platforms that replaced it take a nickel to seven cents a minute off the top before the phone company and the models get paid.

Visualping's own billing FAQ says you cannot receive a Slack alert unless your subscription totals $1,200 a year.

GPT-6 Astra scored 97.6 percent on frontier mathematics and 41.4 percent on AutomationBench, the benchmark built out of two billion real Zapier tasks a month. In April the best models were under ten percent. The distance between those two numbers is the whole planning problem.
Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
Two shops quoted the same spreadsheet-to-app job at four thousand dollars and forty thousand dollars. Neither one was lying. The spread is a measurement of how much you did not tell them, and it is the only number in the transaction you actually control.

A 40,000 person list mailed weekly is about 160,000 sends a month. Mailchimp Transactional charges $140 for that, in blocks of 25,000 that expire, and only if you are already paying for a marketing plan underneath. Amazon SES charges $16. Notifuse is the open source console that sits on top of the $16, and the saving is not the story.

Canva Business is $250 a person a year with no volume discount, and Microsoft's cheapest plan that includes PowerPoint is $120. You pay it for everyone who might need to make a deck. Bento is a 560 KB HTML file that is the editor, the deck and the presenter at once, and the person you send it to needs nothing.

Anthropic cut the price of re-reading context on Fable 5.1 by 75 percent, down to a fortieth of what a fresh read costs. The saving lands in proportion to how tightly your work is packed in time, and the penalty for breaking a cache quietly quadrupled on the same day.
