Question 1

How do I price an AI product?

Accepted Answer

Pricing an AI product requires balancing fixed operational costs with variable token costs. Calcaas helps you model these variables to find a price point that ensures profitability while remaining competitive.

Question 2

How much does GPT-4 cost per user?

Accepted Answer

It depends on usage. With Calcaas, you can input your expected input/output tokens per user to see exactly how much GPT-4 (or any other model) will cost you at scale.

Question 3

Do you support Claude API pricing calculator logic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we support all major LLM providers including Anthropic's Claude. You can easily switch between models to compare costs and margins.

Question 4

What is Calcaas?

Accepted Answer

Calcaas is a high-fidelity SaaS pricing simulator designed for founders. It replaces fragile spreadsheets with specialized logic for credit-based, user-based, and complex LLM token economics.

Question 5

How do AI presets work?

Accepted Answer

We sync pricing for 1,500+ models weekly from the open-source litellm catalog — covering OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and 80+ other providers. Pick a preset and we auto-fill the input/output token costs. You just specify your average usage per query.

Question 6

Can I use it for non-AI SaaS?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Calcaas is built for any usage-based SaaS. Whether you sell image generation, compute minutes, or just user seats, our flexible component builder handles it all.

Question 7

Is the simulation truly accurate?

Accepted Answer

The calculations are mathematically precise based on your inputs. By factoring in often-ignored costs like transaction fees (3%+), operational overhead, and trial leakage, you get a much realistic view of your true gross margins.

Question 8

Does it support local currencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro users can switch between 30+ currencies with real-time exchange rates. You can even set a 'Comparison Currency' to see how your USD prices look in EUR or GBP side-by-side.

Question 9

What happens after I pay for Pro?

Accepted Answer

You get instant, lifetime access to all premium features and future updates. No recurring subscriptions—just a one-time tool for your arsenal.

Question 10

Can I save my pricing scenarios to come back to later?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pro users can save unlimited named pricing scenarios. Cost components, packages, currency, billing cycle, and margin settings are all preserved, and saved scenarios sync across every device you sign in on.

Question 11

Can I export my pricing as a PDF for clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pro users can export every configured package as a single branded PDF. Each package gets its own card with credits, list price, profit, effective margin, and price per credit; you also get a cost-composition table and your VAT and transaction-fee assumptions. The PDF generates client-side, so your inputs never leave your browser.

Question 12

Can I re-download a quote PDF I sent last month?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every PDF export is automatically recorded in your quote history with the original numbers frozen in. Click "History" in the Pro calculator and re-download any past quote — the output is byte-for-byte stable so a quote you sent in March still pulls the exact figures in October.
