LLM Usage Forecasting

Planning your budget is crucial for any organization, which is why Searcheble provides transparent forecasting tools that let you predict your AI costs before they occur. By entering your expected monthly sessions, our system calculates your anticipated LLM expenses, giving you complete visibility into what your total costs will be. This forecasting capability ensures there are never any surprise bills or unexpected charges—you'll know exactly what to budget for based on your organization's projected usage patterns.

Usage Cost Breakdown

Your LLM costs are divided into three clear components:

1. Processing Costs: Cover initial content analysis and indexing, calculated based on content volume and complexity. This one-time cost handles the setup and preparation of your content for intelligent search and chat capabilities.

2. Consumption Costs: Cover actual AI interactions including searches and chat sessions, calculated based on number of sessions and requests per session. These ongoing costs reflect your users' actual engagement with the system.

3. Total Monthly Cost: Combines processing and consumption costs through automatic calculation from your usage inputs, providing a complete picture of your expected monthly expenses.

Forecasting Your AI Expenses

The forecasting tool works by analyzing your expected monthly sessions and calculating the corresponding AI processing requirements. You simply input your anticipated usage—whether that's based on current website traffic, historical inquiry volumes, or projected growth—and the system provides a detailed breakdown showing processing costs (content handling) and consumption costs (user interactions). This transparency allows you to make informed decisions about your plan level and understand exactly how your costs scale with usage.

Understanding your forecasted costs empowers better organizational planning and eliminates the anxiety that often comes with usage-based pricing models. Whether you're a small school expecting moderate usage or a busy council anticipating high interaction volumes, the forecasting tool gives you confidence in your budgeting while reinforcing our commitment to transparent, fair pricing. You'll always know what you're paying for and why, making Searcheble a trusted partner in your organization's digital transformation rather than a source of unpredictable expenses.
