Click a bar for every number, its source URL, date and author. Assumptions: list-price token spend is the same everywhere; one request equals one log, trace, span or unit (real products often emit several per request); monthly billing; no tax. What the layers mean.
Fixed scenarios
Gateways with 100,000 logs a month and 3 seats. These are the same numbers the calculator gives at those inputs.

Not modelled
- Flatkey: Prices vary per model; the calculator needs your model mix.
- Braintrust: Priced in GB processed and scores, not requests; no vendor-published conversion from requests to GB.
- Galileo: Annual contract pricing not confirmed on the vendor page; the page now redirects to Splunk pricing.
- W&B Weave: Priced in MB ingested; no vendor-published conversion from requests to MB.
- Maxim AI: Log limits on paid plans not published in our sources.
Token spend is an input, not computed: we do not read model prices (Price Per Token and OpenRouter cover that layer).
