How do you weigh AI app builder pricing for a small logistics side project?
-
I'm in Seattle and work on the tech side of a small freight brokerage, mostly helping with tracking and document flow. We're exploring whether an AI app builder could handle a simple internal tool for shipment status updates and exception flags, but the pricing models are hard to compare. Some seem to charge per app, others per user or per AI action, and I can't tell which fits a small team that would only use it occasionally.
My main concern is getting locked into a plan where costs climb quickly once usage picks up, or paying for seats nobody touches. I've only looked at public pricing pages and a few third-party comparisons online, so I don't have real-world numbers.
For those running similar tools in logistics, how did you decide between seat-based and usage-based pricing? Any pitfalls you'd flag before committing?
