Demystifying the Cost of AI Services: A Comprehensive Guide

At nearly every FinOps Advisory call in the last year, clients have been asking questions about how to price their new and expanding AI services. That’s why we created this guide focused on demystifying the cost of AI services. A recent FinOps Foundation survey of 800 companies found that nearly 66% are expanding FinOps into SaaS cost management, while 63% are already applying FinOps to AI. That’s roughly double the percentage from last year—clear evidence that AI-driven financial strategies are now a top priority.

Because of the growing audience, I was excited to partner with Janine at Magic Orange, one of the leading industry providers of ITFM and FinOps software, to create a new FinOps Practitioner's Definitive Guide to AI Services. This whitepaper is appropriate for anyone in IT Finance, IT Business Management, TBM Analysts, and FinOps Practitioners.

This paper will give you the background on AI that you need to have intelligent conversations with the business and your technology peers, as well as a deep dive into the cost drivers for AI services that need to be tracked and measured-whether they are SaaS AI services, or custom AI built in the cloud or on-premises.
