GlianaAI vs monthly AI subscriptions
Seats and monthly plans price access to a tool. Pay-per-call prices the work. Which one fits depends on whether a human or a machine is calling.
How Monthly AI subscriptions works
A fixed monthly fee for a seat or a credit bundle, usually with a quota that expires and overage rules on top.
How GlianaAI differs
No plan, no minimum, no expiry. A call costs what it costs; an idle month costs nothing. Nothing you paid for goes stale at the end of a billing period.
When Monthly AI subscriptions wins
Steady, predictable human usage — a team using the same tool daily will usually pay less on a plan than per call, and finance prefers one line item.
When GlianaAI wins
Spiky or machine-driven usage, and anything you cannot forecast. An agent that makes eleven calls this month and forty thousand the next has no sensible plan to be on.
The honest note
If your usage is flat and predictable, a subscription is probably cheaper. Per-call pricing earns its keep on variance, not on being universally cheap.
Try it without signing up
There is nothing to provision. This asks the gateway which endpoint fits, and costs nothing.
