Practical guide
The average lies – the AI cost benchmark
Why AI costs must be planned by distribution and adoption, not by the average: a ~€6.50 median compute spend per active user/month, 78 % of cost driven by the top 10 % – from 10,000+ users over 12 months. Plus the steerability playbook.

Basis and boundaries
- Basis
- The analysis uses anonymised usage data from more than 10,000 users over twelve months. It describes the distribution of compute spend within this dataset.
- Boundary
- The benchmark is not a cost guarantee. Licences, rollout, support and actual adoption must be planned for each organisation.
