Most teams pay for four or five AI tools, spread across different cards and departments. Add yours up in about a minute. No sign-up, and nothing you enter leaves this page.

Prices are monthly list prices for business plans, taken from each vendor's pricing page and checked October 13, 2026. Annual billing and promotions are usually lower, so edit any number to match your invoice. Usage-based costs, such as API bills and credits, aren't included and often add more.

Why is this number so hard to find? Because nobody owns it.
It's spread across cards
One team expenses ChatGPT. Another has Claude on a company card. Copilot sits inside the Microsoft bill. There's no single invoice to look at.
Seats pile up quietly
People try a tool, keep the subscription and move on. A year later you're paying for seats nobody has opened since spring.
Usage isn't on the invoice
API calls, credits and overage charges land in different places from seat fees, so the total is higher than the subscriptions suggest.
An estimate is a start. AgentOS shows you the real number.
One view of AI use and spend
See which tools and models each team uses, and what that costs, across the tools you connect.
One memory for every tool
Connect your email, chat, files and CRM once. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and your own agents all work from the same company knowledge.
You stay in control
Decide what each tool can see and change. Important actions wait for a person to approve them.
Questions people ask
How much do companies spend on AI tools per employee?
It varies a lot with how many tools overlap. A team paying for two general assistants plus a coding tool and a meeting notetaker can easily pass $1,000 per person a year in seat fees alone. Use the calculator above with your own tools to get your figure.
What should an AI budget include?
Seat subscriptions, usage-based costs such as API calls and credits, any AI add-ons inside tools you already pay for, and the time spent managing them. Seat fees are the easiest part to count and usually not the whole bill.
How do I cut AI spend without slowing the team down?
Start by finding overlap: most people only need one general assistant. Then remove seats nobody uses, and match expensive models to the work that needs them. Our guide to AI cost management covers seven ways to do it.
Does this calculator store what I enter?
No. The maths happens in your browser and the numbers you type aren't sent anywhere.
