3Every month · Capped actual consumption

Monthly AI usage: based on headcount and pace

This is the only variable part: at the end of each month, you pay solely for the interactions your teams actually ran. A colleague on leave or using AI lightly that month costs virtually nothing.

Step A · Typical benchmarks per active user

Light usage
≈ 5 € excl. VAT / user / mo

A few questions, translations or email rewrites over the week.

Moderate usage Observed average
≈ 10 € excl. VAT / user / mo

Drafting emails, summarizing meetings and querying company documents every day.

Intensive usage
≈ 20 € excl. VAT / user / mo

Daily deep analysis of long case files, contracts, tenders or technical reports.

Step B · What this represents per month for the whole team

Illustrative monthly AI usage budgets by headcount (alongside the matching annual server tier):

Team size Matching annual server tier Light usage (≈ 5 €/user) Moderate usage (≈ 10 €/user) Intensive usage (≈ 20 €/user)

10 people Team · 990 € / yr ≈ 50 € / mo ≈ 100 € / mo ≈ 200 € / mo
30 people Business · 1,990 € / yr ≈ 150 € / mo ≈ 300 € / mo ≈ 600 € / mo
60 people Enterprise · 2,990 € / yr ≈ 300 € / mo ≈ 600 € / mo ≈ 1,200 € / mo
100 people Organization · 3,990 € / yr ≈ 500 € / mo ≈ 1,000 € / mo ≈ 2,000 € / mo

Your zero-overrun guarantee: monthly cap and quotas

You freely set an overall monthly cap (for example 100 € / mo) as well as quotas by department or user. Everyone sees their live gauge and gets alerted as they approach the limit. Without a one-click admin approval, usage pauses until the 1st of next month: your monthly invoice can never spiral out of control. See how quotas work →

No minimum commitment: straightforward cancellation terms

There is no minimum commitment period. The one-time setup fee and the annual dedicated server hosting fee are due at the start of the year and are non-refundable, even pro rata. If you cancel, only the current month is due: subsequent months stop being billed and the platform is deactivated (after you recover your data). View Terms & Conditions →

Putting it in perspective

What if you bought an individual AI subscription for every employee?

A standard business AI seat typically costs around 30 € excl. VAT / month / user (billed every single month whether that person uses AI daily or barely at all). For an almost identical total budget in Year 1 — and significantly less after that — emi equips your entire company on its own dedicated server.

Per-seat AI subscriptions

1 paid license for every single person

Example for 10 team members at 30 € excl. VAT / mo / user:

3,600 € excl. VAT / yr, every year

That is 300 € excl. VAT paid out every month, no matter what

  • Full-price seats billed even during vacations or for occasional users.
  • Shared multi-tenant infrastructure (often outside Europe), with no private server isolated for your company.
  • No shared company Knowledge Base with granular folder permissions or built-in team training.
emi model · Dedicated server + actual usage

1 private server + only actual usage

Same team of 10 members on moderate usage:

2,190 € excl. VAT / yr from Year 2

3,689 € excl. VAT in Year 1 including one-time setup — virtually the same budget right from Year 1

  • 0 € wasted: give accounts to your whole company — only those who actively use AI generate usage.
  • Your own isolated server in Switzerland (ISO 27001 certified), zero training on your data.
  • Company Knowledge Base, AI charter, admin console and Academy all included out of the box.

Indicative comparison excluding VAT based on moderate usage (≈ 10 € / user / mo) versus professional individual seats at 30 € / user / mo. Even compared to entry-level seats at 20 € / mo (2,400 € / yr for 10 people), emi matches the annual budget from Year 2 (2,190 € / yr) while including a dedicated private server in Switzerland.

Frequently asked pricing questions

When is each invoice issued?

Upon subscription, the one-time setup fee (1,499 € excl. VAT) and the annual hosting fee for your dedicated server (based on your chosen tier) are due at the start of the year and are non-refundable, even pro rata. Then, at the end of each month, you receive a single invoice covering actual AI usage over the past month. On each annual anniversary date (unless cancelled beforehand), only the dedicated server renews: setup is never billed again.

Is there a minimum commitment? What happens if we cancel?

There is no minimum commitment period. The initial setup fee and the annual server hosting fee are due at the start of the year and are non-refundable, even pro rata. If you cancel, the current month remains payable; only subsequent months stop being billed and the platform is deactivated (with time to export your data). Read the Terms & Conditions

Why is there a one-time setup fee?

Because we do not simply open a tenant login on a shared server: we provision, harden and configure your own dedicated environment in Switzerland (logo, AI charter, role hierarchy, Knowledge Base permissions and Academy onboarding). That initial deployment is billed once at the start.

How do we pick the right annual server tier?

It simply matches the number of team members with an active account: Starter tier (1 to 2 people: 499 € excl. VAT/yr), Team tier (3 to 10 people: 990 € excl. VAT/yr), Business tier (11 to 30 people: 1,990 € excl. VAT/yr), Enterprise tier (31 to 60 people: 2,990 € excl. VAT/yr), Organization tier (61 to 100 people: 3,990 € excl. VAT/yr). Above 100 people, we size your dedicated server directly with you.

What happens if our team grows mid-year?

Your server scales seamlessly with zero downtime, no data migration and no new setup fee. You simply move up to the next tier, billed pro rata for the months remaining in your annual period.

What do we pay if some employees barely use AI in a given month?

Unlike per-seat AI licenses billed at full price every month even when idle, emi’s monthly AI usage is billed strictly on actual consumption. A colleague on vacation or inactive in a given month generates 0 € in AI usage that month.

Can my monthly AI usage invoice ever exceed my budget?

No. You set a monthly cap in euros along with per-user or per-department quotas. Everyone is alerted before reaching their limit; unless an administrator approves raising the cap, usage pauses until the following month and no overrun is ever billed.

Can we try emi before subscribing?

Yes. We run a free 30-minute live demo directly on your use cases and a few anonymized documents, followed by a tailored, no-obligation quote. Book a demo
