Q: I'm impressed with this tool's potential and excited about the deal.
However, I have some concerns regarding costs:
The initial launch lacks the BYOK option and uses version 3.5 turbo, with a price of $15 monthly for every 100 messages. Based on 80 clients, each with 25 visitors sending 25 messages daily, my calculations are as follows:
1. Total Messages per Day:
- 80 clients x 25 visitors/client x 25 messages/visitor = 50,000 messages/day
2. Total Messages per Month:
- 50,000 messages/day x 30 days = 1,500,000 messages/month
3. Cost Calculation:
- (1,500,000 messages / 100) x 15 = $225,000/month
At this rate, the monthly cost would be $225,000. While I understand AI costs are decreasing, I’m concerned about affordability for my clients at this pricing level.
Could you confirm if my calculations are correct? I'm still interested in this deal but need clarification on these costs. Thanks!
Additionally, considering GPT-4 mini's average message cost is around $0.00012, the increase to $0.15 is significant (1,249,000%). A BYOK option could help manage costs better, either with a flat monthly fee for BYOK or on a per-bot or per-user basis. Just a suggestion; thanks!

Jul 29, 2024A: Hi Steven!
The calculation is not correct because only about 2% of website visitors send a message to Leadster AI, and the average message per visitor is 2 questions.
So, 80 * 25 = 2,000 unique visitors per month
2,000 * 2% = 40 users sending messages
40 * 2 = 80 total messages
So, you would only pay $30 per month for 100 automated responses for an average website with a unique users volume of 2,000.
