Is CostPerPrompt worth running as a client service?

CostPerPrompt is a robust cost-estimation tool that can form the basis of a managed AI cost forecasting service, but its value depends on the agency's ability to package it effectively and acquire clients. The evidence supports its utility in delivering accurate cost insights, while market demand and pricing flexibility remain unquantified.
