Marketing Strategy: Managed AI vs. BYOK

This document outlines how to market Atom's unique "Architectural Economics" to clients.

1. Recommended Public Pricing Models

Model A: The "AI Add-on" (Simplest)

Market Managed AI as a high-performance feature with a **bundle-based** entry point.

• **Model**: Platform Base Includes Fair Usage + Overage.
• **Price**: $50/month flat fee per workspace (Added to Solo/Team base price).
• **Fair Use Bundle**: Includes 5M tokens per month.
• **Overage**: $5/1M tokens after bundle exhaustion.
• **Best for**: Small businesses and non-technical founders who want a predictable "safe" budget.

Model B: The "Compute Pass" (Most Transparent)

Market Managed AI as a passthrough with a platform convenience fee.

• **Price**: $0.00 platform fee; usage billed at Anthropic/OpenAI rates + 30% margin.
• **Messaging**: "Get frontier AI performance without the API management overhead. We handle the routing; you pay for what you use."
• **Best for**: Agencies and growing startups.

2. The BYOK Pitch (The "Save 65%" Angle)

The BYOK model is your most powerful marketing tool for sophisticated clients.

Use the "Flattened Cost" Narrative:

"Standard AI tools (ChatGPT, Zapier) charge you a heavy premium on every token. With Atom, we use **Visual Downscaling** and **BPC Routing** to flatten your costs. By bringing your own key, you pay **raw provider rates** while benefiting from our enterprise-grade memory and automation engine."
