Prices & Costs
Transparent guidance for your AI project

AI projects can rarely be priced as a flat rate, because scope, technical requirements, and data basis vary greatly from company to company. Our price overview therefore shows you which cost components you can generally expect and how a project is typically structured.
The total costs are made up of the appropriate software license, possible services for setup, customization, or data preparation, as well as usage-based fees for AI models, storage, or data access.
Which components are actually relevant depends on your specific use case.
This gives you a clear overview in advance, without forcing your project into a rigid package. We will prepare a binding offer after an initial conversation, once requirements, data situation, desired functions, and technical effort can be realistically assessed.
If you have any questions about our prices, please feel free to contact us at any time.
Our offer is aimed at business customers, therefore our prices are to be understood in euros (€), net plus statutory taxes.
Software licenses
Which software license is right for your company depends primarily on how you want to use AI.

Usage fees for AI models, tools, data and web access
In addition to license and project costs, usage-based costs may arise. These depend in particular on the AI model used, the number of requests, the amount of data, image or audio processing, and the chosen infrastructure.
Typical usage-based costs:
- Text processing based on input, output and storage tokens (cached tokens)
- Access to Vimmera Cortex or vector stores
- Web searches (including on company websites)
- Code interpreter sessions
- Image analysis and image generation
- Video generation
- Audio transcriptions
- Realtime voice inputs
- Caching of thread or context information
As a guideline, token and usage costs are in the following ranges depending on the model:
| Usage | Guideline net |
|---|---|
| Input tokens | from €0.36 per 1 million tokens |
| Cached input tokens | from €0.10 per 1 million tokens |
| Cached output tokens | from €0.10 per 1 million tokens |
| Output tokens | from €2.45 per 1 million tokens |
| Code interpreter (code execution in the background) | from €0.05 per session |
| Web search | €17.45 per 1,000 web searches |
| Vector store access (or other tool calls) | €3.80 per 1,000 accesses (calls) |
| Audio upload / transcription | €0.02 per audio minute |
| Realtime audio input | €0.04 per audio minute |
| Image generation | from €0.10 to approx. €0.50 per image, depending on model and resolution |
We will agree the specific model and infrastructure selection with you. From this, it is determined individually which costs arise. Token costs depend both on the selected/used AI model (e.g. LLM) and on the hosting location, infrastructure and other factors.
Price example for higher-priced LLMs:
Very powerful LLMs with reasoning algorithms and very large context lengths are charged for input tokens from approx. €1.82 per 1 million tokens, cached input tokens from approx. €0.40 per 1 million tokens, and output tokens from approx. €13.30 per 1 million tokens.
The usage-based fees are billed monthly on the basis of usage determined via Vimmera Now or Vimmera Studio.
Explanations of the technical terms
To help you better understand the price overview, we briefly explain the most important components of our AI platforms.
The Meeting Assistant is one of our most in-demand tools. It enables the recording, transcription and further processing of meeting and conversation data (e.g. in person but also virtually) using multimodal data enrichment (e.g. presentations, images, etc.). Using a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or PC, all information from conversations and meetings can be recorded in GDPR-compliant fashion and further processed with AI support. This creates minutes, to-do lists or information comparisons, and AI assistants enable information searches within all conversations held as well as the transfer of knowledge to other people.
With the help of the Capture Kit, company knowledge can be digitized quickly and easily. Process descriptions, workflows and knowledge transfer are available to every user with AI support.
The Incognito Mode is an environment that takes the already secure Vimmera Studio environment to an even higher level. In certain areas such as HR departments, maximum data security is necessary and there are increased requirements for data usage. The Incognito Mode, for example, stores no history data in the background and deletes all log data (except those required by law) after 24 hours, including from the Vimmera AI servers. Chats are automatically ended when closed and all histories are deleted. The Incognito Mode can be enabled by administrators for individual employees (if available in the plan).
The Code Interpreter is an execution environment for AI applications in which calculations, data analyses and file-based tasks can be performed directly by the AI. It enables an AI assistant not only to formulate answers, but also to actively work with data, for example to evaluate tables, process files, perform calculations, generate charts or carry out technical intermediate steps in a traceable way. This allows the AI assistant to handle more complex tasks more reliably and deliver results based on actual calculations or file contents.
A Session is a time-limited working environment in which an AI application can retain information, intermediate results and the current processing status during use. Within a session, the AI assistant can work coherently, refer to previous inputs in the current workflow and continue tasks step by step. This means information does not have to be provided again with every single request, but remains available during the ongoing session. A session therefore helps to keep conversations, calculations, file processing or other work steps together in a meaningful way and continue them consistently.
Input tokens are the units of information passed to an AI model so that it can understand and process a request. These include, for example, the user input, system instructions, conversation history, inserted texts, file contents or additional context information from connected knowledge sources. The AI does not process these contents as whole words, but in smaller text units called tokens. The more information is passed to the model, the more input tokens are used. Input tokens therefore determine how much context an AI assistant can take into account when processing a request and also form an important basis for the technical processing and billing of AI requests.
Cached input tokens are input tokens that an AI model can reuse for a request because identical or very similar context components have already been processed previously. This includes, for example, recurring system instructions, longer unchanged prompts, fixed context blocks or content that is sent identically with multiple requests. Instead of processing these contents completely anew each time, they can be technically cached and taken into account as “cached”. This allows repeated requests to be processed more efficiently and usually more cheaply than completely new input tokens. Cached input tokens are therefore particularly relevant for AI applications that frequently work with the same basic instructions, document excerpts or recurring context information.
Cached output tokens are comparable to cached input tokens. The only difference is that here not the input tokens but the outputs generated by the system (output tokens) are cached and reused.
Output tokens are the units of information that an AI model generates as a response. These include, for example, written texts, summaries, explanations, table contents, code, structured data or other content output by the model. While input tokens describe the information passed to the model, output tokens describe the result returned by the model. The longer or more detailed a response is, the more output tokens are generated. Output tokens are therefore important for technical processing, possible response length and the billing of AI requests.
Vector store accesses are queries to a knowledge or document database in which content is stored not only as normal text but as so-called vectors. An AI system uses such accesses to find information relevant to a user question from stored documents, knowledge articles, product data or other sources. This is not just a search for exact keywords, but for semantic similarity. In this way, an AI assistant can retrieve relevant text passages or data records even if the question is phrased differently from the stored content. Vector store accesses are therefore particularly important when an AI application is intended to work with company-specific knowledge and generate answers based on suitable sources or document excerpts.
Web searches are requests made by an AI system (e.g. triggered by an LLM) that are carried out on websites (e.g. on the internet or a company intranet). Agents or tools with the corresponding functionality can “Google” and perform independent internet research. For example, it is possible to search websites, information stored there and/or documents in real time, or even trigger search functions on websites or perform smaller interactions with websites (e.g. logins or similar). Web searches can be triggered multiple times during research; AI systems can freely decide whether one or more searches are necessary and always use only as many searches as are required to solve a given task.
Private mode is a variant of an assistant/agent or tool that works without any external access options, inspections or storage. Data is only used at the moment it is actually needed. No history is created. This ensures maximum data protection and even highly confidential data can be processed securely in AI systems. For example, private mode can be used by development teams, NGOs or works councils when only a certain person or group of people may access data and even administrators must not have access (no backdoors).
Realtime audio input refers to audio data that is transmitted directly and almost without delay to an AI system during ongoing use. Speech is not uploaded as a finished file, but processed continuously as an audio stream. This allows an AI assistant to recognize spoken input directly, evaluate it and respond to it.
Audio upload for transcriptions refers to the option of passing existing audio files to an AI system so that text can be generated from them automatically. These can be, for example, recordings from a meeting assistant, interviews, phone notes, training sessions, voice memos or external audio sources.
The AI processes the uploaded audio file and converts the spoken content into a written transcript. This transcript can then be used further, for example for summaries, minutes, task lists, knowledge articles, documentation or structured further processing in an AI application. Audio uploads for transcriptions are therefore particularly useful when spoken information is to be made retrospectively analyzable, searchable and documentable.
Vimmera Cortex is the knowledge base for your AI applications. Company information, documents, product data, service knowledge or other content can be stored there in a structured way and made usable for AI systems. A Cortex ensures that an AI assistant does not only use general knowledge, but can access relevant information from your company.
Vimmera Assist is a custom-configurable AI assistant for specific tasks, departments or use cases. An Assist can, for example, answer internal questions, support employees, prepare service requests, create texts or use information from a Cortex. Depending on the need, an Assist can be equipped with specific roles, rules, knowledge sources and functions.
Examples of Assist:
- Company GPT
- Web search assistants
- First-level support
- Document editing / document creation
- Document research
- Knowledge management assistants
- Onboarding and offboarding assistants
Vimmera Tool is a special AI function or extension that can be used to automate or support specific tasks. Tools can, for example, analyze data, structure content, prepare documents, access interfaces or facilitate certain recurring processes. They extend one or more AI assistants with additional capabilities.
Examples of tools:
- Meeting Assistant (meeting recordings)
- Translation Assistant (translations)
- Transcription Assistant (knowledge management)
- Invoice Booking Assistant
Vimmera Webchat is a chatbot for intranet or internet that can be embedded on a website. It enables employees, customers, or other user groups to interact directly with an AI system via a chat interface. Depending on the configuration, a webchat can access company knowledge from a Cortex, be connected to an Assist, or use specific tools.
Examples of webchat:
- Mera on our homepage
Simply put: the Cortex provides knowledge, the Assist uses this knowledge in dialogue, a tool extends the AI with concrete functions or process steps, and the webchat makes the AI usable via a website.
Data protection and hosting
Data protection and security are part of every solution. Depending on the project requirements, we tailor the hosting location, access rights, role model, logging, and data processing individually.
Custom hosting models, Germany hosting, or on-premise solutions are possible after technical review and by separate agreement.
Data preparation for better AI results
Company data can be stored directly in Vimmera Cortex and made usable for AI applications. However, with larger volumes of data or poorly readable data formats, confusion, inaccurate results, or mixed information can occur.
That is why Vimmera AI offers advanced data preparation. In this process, company knowledge is not only stored, but structured, linked, and optimized for AI systems. This allows assistants to use more relevant context and generate answers more reliably.
We particularly recommend this data preparation for complex documents, extensive product information, technical documentation, service knowledge, or large internal knowledge bases.
Data preparation services are billed based on effort (see services).
Contract term and billing
Unless otherwise agreed, the minimum contract term per product is 12 months.
Standard billing:
- Services, workshops, and training based on time spent
- Software licenses monthly
- Usage fees monthly based on actual usage
