Pricing
Keebo.ai savings are calculated based on actual actions taken by Keebo and events that happen to the warehouse.
Keebo.ai offers flexible, customer-centric pricing to suit various business needs. Customers can choose between the following plans:
- Pay-as-you-save, where payment is typically ~20-33% of independently verifiable savings depending on cost per credit and region
- A predictable flat-rate subscription
Success-based pricing ensures that Keebo’s objectives are closely aligned with those of its customers, as they are linked to generating measurable and demonstrable outcomes.
Chaos Genius has a monthly or annual pay-as-you-save plan for autonomous optimization agents. They also have a flat rate annual subscription for their spend observability tool.
