What running AI agents actually costs
I wanted to know if my AI subscription was earning its keep. So I repriced 30 days of real usage at pay-per-token rates and compared it to what I actually pay.
The answer: $96 USD equivalent in tokens consumed. My subscription costs $100 USD a month. That’s not a rounding error - that’s a subscription running at near-full utilisation.
Not a prototype. Not a weekend experiment. A system I actually depend on - morning briefings, task management, research, document work, health tracking, portfolio analysis. The Autonomi, as I call it, runs continuously and does real work.
