How much does it cost to run an AI agent?
It depends on the model and task complexity. A simple Claude Sonnet task costs about $0.01-0.05. A complex multi-step agent task can cost $0.10-0.50. Most users spend $1-5/month for light use.
What is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)?
BYOK means you bring your own API key from providers like Anthropic or OpenAI. You pay the provider directly — no markup from the platform. This is the pricing model Ivern uses, so your costs are always transparent.
How do multi-agent costs compare to single-agent?
Multi-agent costs scale with the number of agents and interactions. A 3-agent team typically costs 2-3x a single agent per task, but completes more complex work. Pipeline execution (agent A → B → C) costs more than parallel because each step builds on the previous.
Why is my ChatGPT subscription different from API costs?
ChatGPT subscriptions ($20/mo) give you unlimited chat but no API access or agent orchestration. API costs are pay-per-token — you pay only for what you use. For agent squads and automation, you need API access.
How can I reduce my AI agent costs?
Use smaller models (Claude Haiku, GPT-4o-mini) for simple tasks. Cache repeated prompts. Use pipeline execution instead of full team chat when possible. With Ivern's BYOK model, you always pay provider-direct pricing with zero markup.
