Contract Pricing

Price AI Spend the Way Your Contract Actually Reads

Cloptima layers customer- or org-scoped contract rates, commitments, and credits on top of provider list pricing, so effective cost matches what you actually pay — previewed and approved before it ever changes a number in production.

List price isn't what you actually pay

Provider list prices are a starting point, not the truth. Negotiated discounts, committed spend, credits, and cached-token rate differences all change what a customer or business unit actually pays — but bolting that onto a dashboard usually means a spreadsheet running in parallel with whatever the platform reports, and the two drift apart within a quarter.

  • List pricing in the platform doesn't match the negotiated rate in the contract
  • Commitments and credits tracked in a spreadsheet, disconnected from live usage
  • No preview of what a rate change will do before it's approved and applied
  • Historical reports break or silently change when a new rate is entered

Contract rates layered on the catalog, never mutating it

Contract price sheets are customer/org-scoped and forward-dated, sitting alongside — never mutating — the global model catalog. Rate overrides can be set per provider, model, region, and date range, including cached-token and special-token rates. Before a price sheet or override is approved, Cloptima computes a server-authoritative preview against real historical usage, so you see the projected dollar effect before anyone signs off. Approved rates apply to new usage within 24 hours. Every price sheet, override, and approval is captured in an immutable audit history, and a commitment/credit ledger tracks draw-down separately from raw usage cost.

  • Customer/org-scoped, date-ranged rate overrides — the global catalog is never mutated
  • Cached-token and special-token rate rows, not just a flat per-token override
  • Server-authoritative preview computed from real usage before approval, not a hand-built estimate
  • Commitment and credit ledger with draw-down tracked separately from usage cost
  • Immutable audit history behind every price sheet, override, and approval

Price your first contracted customer

Create a price sheet for your first contracted customer or business unit, add the rate overrides your contract specifies, run the preview against the last full billing period, and route it through approval before it goes live.

Precedence that's always explainable

Effective-cost precedence is explicit and always explainable: contract override, then commitment, then credit, then retail fallback, then unknown-price handling if nothing else applies — so a historical report stays tied to the pricing rules that were in force at the time, even after new contracts are added later. Custom rate updates deploy as versioned, isolated policy layers, ensuring approval never risks a partial or corrupted rate change reaching live production traffic.

Launch path

Add a price sheet with a start date of today or later, attach rate overrides and a contract reference or attachment id, preview against historical usage, and approve. Approved rates apply to new usage within 24 hours. Ongoing commitment and credit balances update automatically as usage accrues against the ledger.
