How does SoftWritely handle model pricing updates?

Our platform maintains updated rate cards for all evaluated models. When providers reduce prices (or introduce cached token pricing tiers), calculations adjust automatically from the effective date.

What is the difference between estimated and billed spend?

Estimated spend is calculated per-request based on token counts and published rates. Billed spend reflects the actual monthly provider invoice, accounting for volume discounts, billing minimums, and rounding.

Can I export cost reports for my accounting software?

Yes. SoftWritely is designed with standard CSV, JSON, and structured export formats compatible with standard accounting and invoicing tools like QuickBooks, Xero, and Stripe Billing.

Estimated Telemetry vs. Provider Invoice Reconciliation

SoftWritely estimates request expenses in real-time from prompt/completion tokens and model rate cards, then reconciles against actual provider monthly statements to expose tier minimums, rounding, and discount offsets.

The Specific Operational Problem Addressed

Why Agencies Struggle Without Dedicated AI Cost Analytics

Agencies calculate spend retrospectively when monthly credit cards are charged. By then, unoptimized loops or over-dimensioned models have already incurred thousands in unrecoverable expenses.

SoftWritely Solution:

Raw token counts mean little until converted into financial figures. SoftWritely's Cost Analytics engine dynamically applies model rate cards to calculate real-time estimated request costs, while continuously reconciling against provider monthly invoices. This dual calculation exposes tier minimums, rounding variances, volume discounts, and model cost-performance tradeoffs across your entire agency portfolio.
