COMPARISON
Flat-rate vs token pricing
Most LLM APIs charge per token. Profundo charges a flat monthly rate with daily request caps. Both models exist for a reason — here is the honest tradeoff.
Side by side
| Per-token pricing | Flat-rate (Profundo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost structure | Input + output tokens × rate | Fixed monthly price |
| Bill surprises | Can spike with usage | None, fixed |
| Best for | Sporadic, small, or variable workloads | Steady daily volume: agents, chat, automation |
| Capacity | Uncapped (pay as you go) | Daily request cap per plan |
| Forecasting | Depends on usage math | Known in advance |
When flat-rate wins
Agents and automation loops make many small requests. A long agent run can easily pass 250 requests/day, and a 24×7 workload can hit 2,000. At that volume, per-token bills become a recurring surprise; a flat rate turns the API into a predictable fixed cost. See the agents use case.
When per-token wins
If you make a handful of requests a day, or your usage is very sporadic, per-token pricing usually costs less than any subscription. Flat-rate plans make the most sense once your daily volume is steady enough to justify the plan.

Honest note: "unlimited" plans are subject to fair-use and service-protection controls, not an uptime or throughput guarantee. Per-token providers may be better for tiny or intermittent workloads. Use the cost calculator to estimate your own break-even.
