Assumptions
Blended price is what your providers charge per million tokens, input and output together. A typical enterprise request runs 1,500 to 3,000 tokens; agentic and RAG-heavy work runs 10K or more. The savings % is your assumption, not a promise from TheTop. What is firm: the Optimization fee is capped at the savings TheEngine measures each month.

Pricing FAQ
Good questions. Clear answers.
How is AI spend measured?
On the keys you connect, over the trailing 30 days. Your Transparency band follows that number and updates automatically.
What does a million tokens look like?
Roughly 750,000 words. A typical enterprise request is 1,500 to 3,000 tokens, so a million tokens is about 300 to 600 requests. Agentic and retrieval-heavy workloads use far more per request.
How is Governance priced?
Per million tokens checked, in falling brackets: $0.50 on the first billion a month, down to $0.15 above 200 billion. It never exceeds 10% of your AI spend. At $200K a month of Sonnet-led spend, about 32B tokens, that is $9,150. Transparency is included once your Governance fee reaches $150 a month.
How is Optimization priced?
On the AI spend routed through TheEngine, in marginal brackets: 7% on the first $50K a month, 5% from $50K to $100K, 2.5% from $100K to $500K, 2.25% from $500K to $2M and 1.5% above $2M. At $200K a month that is $8,500.
What if TheEngine doesn't save enough?
Its fee is capped at what it measurably saved that month. If savings don't cover the fee, you pay no more than the savings. You never spend more with TheEngine than without it. Savings vary by workload, so the estimator's savings number is your assumption, not a guarantee.
Do I need Governance to use Optimization?
No. Each offering stands on its own. Take both and the Complete Package discount of 15% applies, with Transparency included.
Can we use the policies we already have?
Yes. Policy upload and structuring is part of Governance. Bring your own or use TheTop's.
Is billing monthly or annual?
Monthly by default. Annual agreements with dedicated onboarding are available for the Complete Package.
How many people can use Transparency?
Up to 5 logins per organization at every band. Need more seats? Talk to sales.
