AI Spend Has Become Impossible to Justify
Fix the broken economic model.
Copilot at $30/user/month. A handful of power users justify every cent. But usage data tells a different story: 80% of those licenses are barely touched. That's $1.4M in shelfware on a 5,000-person deployment. And the employees without licenses? They're using free Shadow AI tools anyway. Double cost: unused licenses and unmanaged risk.
Unseen Security fixes the broken AI economics.
Replace expensive per-seat licenses with pay-per-use pricing. Every employee gets access to enterprise-grade AI. You pay for actual consumption, not theoretical access. The budget matches reality.
The CFO's AI Problem
Per-Seat Licensing Doesn't Scale
$30/user/month sounds manageable until you multiply by 5,000 employees. $1.8M/year for a tool where most licenses sit unused. And that's just one vendor.
Usage Doesn't Match Spend
Power users justify their licenses. Light users cost the same but generate a fraction of the value. The per-seat model treats a daily user and a monthly user identically.
Shadow AI Has Hidden Costs
Employees using free AI tools aren't free. Data leakage, compliance violations, and security incidents carry real costs. One breach from unmanaged AI usage can dwarf your entire AI budget.
What You Get
- Pay-per-use pricing. Replace per-seat licenses with consumption-based billing. Power users cost more, light users cost less. The budget aligns with actual value delivered.
- AI for everyone. When AI doesn't cost $30/user/month, you can give every employee access. No more rationing to power users while everyone else turns to free Shadow AI tools.
- Full cost visibility. Detailed analytics show AI spend by team, department, and use case. Know exactly where your budget is going and the ROI it delivers.
- Budget controls. Set spending limits by team or department. No surprise invoices. Predictable spend with full control.
- Risk reduction. Eliminating Shadow AI eliminates the hidden costs of data leakage, compliance violations, and security incidents. The savings go beyond the license swap.
The Math Works
When every employee has access to enterprise AI at a fraction of per-seat licensing costs, the business case writes itself. You eliminate shelfware, reduce Shadow AI risk, and gain cost visibility that makes quarterly reviews straightforward. Your AI spend finally matches your AI reality.
