What Is AI Unit Economics?
AI unit economics means one simple thing: how much one user costs you, how much they pay, and how much margin is left.
The Core Questions
- What does one user cost per month?
- What does one request cost?
- At your price, is the margin healthy?
- Which assumption drives cost the most?
Why It Matters
- You can grow usage and still lose money if unit cost is too high.
- Small changes in tokens, cache, or retrieval can move margins a lot.
- Clear unit economics helps with pricing and roadmap decisions.
