How these numbers work.
Traditional costs are conservative
Based on mid-range freelancer rates and common SaaS tools. Not enterprise pricing. Not Bay Area agency rates. The realistic cost of hiring humans and buying tools to run each function.
AI costs include everything
API calls (Claude, GPT), infrastructure (hosting, orchestration), and a $50/month base for tools you'll always need. No hidden costs. These are real production numbers.
Costs scale linearly with revenue
Traditional operations scale roughly with revenue — more customers means more people. AI operations scale sub-linearly — 10x the volume costs maybe 3x the API calls. The gap widens as you grow.
