  • Content is for informational purposes only — not investment, legal, or technical advice for your specific situation.
  • We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee zero errors. Always verify pricing and capabilities with the vendor before commitment.
  • Affiliate links may earn us commissions; this is disclosed in the privacy policy and on each affiliate link.
  • Don't scrape, abuse, or attempt to compromise the Site. Don't republish content without permission.
  • These terms may be updated; material changes announced via on-site banner for 30 days.

Acceptance of terms

# acceptance

By accessing aicost.tools (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

These Terms apply to all visitors and users. There are no registered accounts on this Site — usage is anonymous and free.

§02

Acceptable use

# use

The Site is provided for personal and commercial research into AI tools and pricing. You may:

  • Read and reference any content for your own decision-making.
  • Quote excerpts with attribution and a link to the source page.
  • Use calculators and tools for your own cost estimation.
  • Subscribe to the newsletter and email lists.

You may not:

  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically copy site content for republication.
  • Attempt to compromise the Site's security, integrity, or availability.
  • Reverse-engineer or extract pricing/benchmark data for resale as a competing product.
  • Misrepresent your identity in correspondence (corrections, partnerships).
⚠ Bot policy

Search engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot) are welcome. Aggressive scraping that degrades site performance for human users may result in IP-level rate limiting. Contact us for API/data licensing alternatives.

§03

Intellectual property

# ip

All editorial content (writing, methodology, rankings, calculators, design) is © AI//COST. Reuse with attribution and a link to the source page is encouraged for non-commercial purposes; full republication requires written permission.

Pricing data, benchmark scores, and vendor names referenced on the Site remain the property of their respective owners. We make no claim to vendor trademarks.

Open-source dependencies (Astro, Tailwind, Fraunces font, etc.) are used under their respective licenses.

§04

No warranty

# warranty

The Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We strive for accuracy in pricing, benchmarks, and recommendations but cannot guarantee zero errors.

Always verify pricing and capabilities directly with the vendor before making purchase decisions. Vendor pricing may change without notice; the Site reflects our most recent verification only.

Calculator estimates are approximate and depend on assumptions documented on each calculator page. Real-world costs may differ materially.

§05

Limitation of liability

# liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AI//COST and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site.

This includes (without limitation): financial loss from acting on Site content, downtime, data inaccuracies, third-party vendor pricing or behavior changes, or decisions made based on calculators and rankings.

⚠ Jurisdiction caveat

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

§06

Termination

# termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site for users who violate these Terms (e.g., aggressive scraping, attempted compromise). For most users, the Site remains freely available without registration.

You may stop using the Site at any time. Newsletter subscriptions can be cancelled via the unsubscribe link in every email.

§07
