Quality checked continuously, not once
Instant rollback at every stage
Keep the AI companies you already use. Make them compete for every request.
The priciest model in this catalog costs over 100 times more than the cheapest, and plenty of everyday work runs fine on the cheap end. FrugalAI only uses the accounts you have already connected, so nothing goes anywhere you have not approved.

Cheaper models
Every request gets a receipt
Before a request goes out, FrugalAI checks which models can actually handle it, which ones you have approved, and how much budget is left. It picks the cheapest one that qualifies, then writes down which model it used and why. If that model is down, it falls back to the next one.

Quality control
Watch first. Switch later.
FrugalAI starts by changing nothing. It just records what you spend and what a cheaper model would have cost. Once you have seen enough of that to trust it, you let it start making the swap. It keeps spot-checking the answers, and if quality slips below the line you set, it stops swapping on its own.

03

Your rules apply
Answers get spot-checked the whole time. If quality drops below your line, it goes back to watching.
Repeat answers
Same question twice, one bill
Customers ask the same things over and over. When a question has already been answered, FrugalAI can reuse that answer instead of paying for it again. Anything sensitive or one-of-a-kind skips this and goes to a live model as normal.

Stored answers never cross between companies, and anything sensitive or one-of-a-kind skips this entirely.
Budgets
Give every team a budget
Set a monthly number per team and decide what happens when they get close: warn you, quietly move them to cheaper models, or stop the spend. You choose which, so important work keeps running instead of failing without warning.

We show you the savings before we change anything
You are not asked to trust a number in a sales deck. FrugalAI spends the first stretch changing nothing at all, just showing you what you would have saved. You decide when it graduates to the next step, and you can move it back any time.
01
Watch
Monitor mode
Nothing changes. Your apps behave exactly as they do today while FrugalAI records what each request cost, which team it belongs to, and what a cheaper model would have cost instead.
02
Try it
Assist mode
You let FrugalAI start swapping in cheaper models, but only on the requests you have not pinned to a specific model. Anything you want left alone stays untouched.
03
Run it
Enforce mode
Your rules apply across the workload. If answer quality drops below the line you set, FrugalAI puts itself back into watch mode without waiting for anyone to notice.

The safety net
Always running
This is not a fourth step. FrugalAI spot-checks answers the whole time it is swapping models, so a drop in quality pulls it back automatically.
You can check our math
Click any number and follow it down to the individual requests behind it. Money you actually saved is kept separate from money you could have saved, because those are different things and only one of them shows up in your bank account. Sample data is always labeled.
A receipt for every request
See which model you asked for, which one actually answered, why it was chosen, whether the answer was reused, and what it cost.
Proof before any swap
See the quality checks behind each cheaper model, so a swap is a decision you sign off on rather than one you discover later.
Accurate to a fraction of a cent
Single requests cost tiny fractions of a cent. We count them exactly, then show you normal dollar totals.
Who spent what
Every request is tied to a team and a budget, so you can answer "which department drove the increase" without guessing.
One small change. Thirty days of proof.
Your apps already send their AI requests to an address. They send them to us instead, and we pass them along. No rebuild, no new vendor for your AI accounts, and you keep paying those companies directly. Your team should still test their own app before letting FrugalAI change anything.

Every paid plan includes the entire product. Plans differ by how many requests you route through it, not by which features you are allowed to have. What you pay OpenAI, Anthropic, and the rest stays on your own accounts.
