What would your AI platform cost without Strongly?

Set your workloads below. We compare running them on Strongly against building and staffing the same platform yourself on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Every assumption is shown and adjustable.

Example: 10 workloads

Your workloadsApps, agents, and workflows you run in production. Mix by complexity - compute scales with how hard each one works.

Dashboards, intake forms, light internal tools. A few dollars a month.
Agents and workflows in regular use. Moderate, autoscaled compute.
Heavy jobs that scale to many instances - e.g. self-hosted SLMs and fine-tuning.

Year one includes platform usage with no execution-unit charges.

Basis of estimate

Full platform subscription tiers and execution-unit (SEU) pricing are on the pricing page.

  • Platform subscription is billed on an annual commitment. See the pricing page for the three tiers and what each includes.
  • Cloud infrastructure: a $900/month base plus per-workload compute. Compute is modeled on EC2-class pricing and assumes autoscaling, so workloads and jobs are charged for what they use, not full time.
  • Strongly Execution Units (SEU) price usage, tiered and cumulative over your renewal year (see the pricing page). Year one includes platform usage with no execution-unit charges; charges begin in year two. One agent, MCP, or self-hosted model call is 0.5 SEU; a production workflow or job run is 1.0 SEU; an app login or add-on call is 0.1 SEU.
  • Do it yourself assumes you run the same workloads on AWS, GCP, or Azure and staff the platform: 2 base cloud engineers to operate it, plus 1 engineer for every 5 workloads. Strongly's built-in autoscaling and efficiency run the same workloads on less cloud, so the do-it-yourself side carries a higher cloud bill (default 1.75x, adjustable) on top of the engineering team.

Estimates only, for planning. Your actual cost depends on usage, workload mix, cloud region, and the tier on your Order Form. Platform and service pricing is from the StronglyAI rate card and is subject to change; executed Order Forms govern pricing for their term. Loaded engineer cost is a default you can adjust and varies by market.
