Enterprise AI gateway pricing: what a commercial AI gateway costs

Standard Compute publishes its enterprise AI gateway prices. The Teams platform is $0, Enterprise is $1,499 a month self-serve, and each enterprise feature can be bought on its own from $199 a month. Model usage runs on flat monthly plans per person or app, so the gateway bill and the model bill are both known before the month starts.

Commercial AI gateways price in one of three ways: a fee or markup on tokens, a platform fee by log volume, or an enterprise tier with SSO and audit logs behind a sales call. The table below puts the published prices side by side.

What a commercial AI gateway solution typically costs

The gateway fee is usually the smaller part of the bill. The larger part is model usage, and that is where pricing models differ most. A token markup or a credit fee scales with usage. A log-volume fee scales with requests. A flat plan per person or app stays the same every month.

Standard Compute sends each step to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it, so the same flat plan buys more work. Every person and app gets a fixed monthly budget that never overruns, and you can set spending caps per key and for the whole company.

The second part of the bill is the enterprise tier. Several gateways list SSO, audit logs and governance only under a custom-priced plan. Standard Compute prices each of them separately, so a company that needs SSO and an audit log pays for those two and nothing else.

How AI gateway platforms approach cost tracking and per-token billing across providers

Per-token gateways pass through each provider's price and add a fee, a markup or a log charge, so the invoice changes with every model and every provider. Cost tracking then means reconciling tokens against several price lists.

Standard Compute bills one flat plan per key and records every request with the model, the provider that served it, tokens, cost and status. Request records hold metadata only, never your prompts or outputs. The usage report is free, and the request audit export adds the region rule in force for each request.

Billing is one Stripe invoice with your company name and VAT number, whichever providers served the month's requests.
