A "request" is one completion call, regardless of route. Embedding calls count 0.25ร—. Failed calls (non-200) are never billed.

Savings-share model

For each billing period we compute what the customer would have paid had every request gone to the cloud default provider at list price. The delta is "verified savings". Customer pays our share (20โ€“25%) of that delta instead of flat overage. Minimum monthly commit equals tier base.

billing
  savings_usd = sum(
    per_request_hypothetical_cloud_cost - per_request_actual_cost
  ) across billing period

  invoice = base_fee + max(
    overage_rate ร— billed_requests_over_included,
    savings_share_rate ร— savings_usd
  )   // whichever model is active per contract

Billing guarantee
If in any 30-day window MeshInfer.AI fails to deliver at least 30% cost reduction vs. equivalent cloud-only inference, that month's platform fee is waived automatically. Applies to Growth and Enterprise.
