Enterprises spend $118,469/MONTH on AI. 63% just on engineering. Your SMB runs the same models for $40/mo. The pricing moat was never real.

The expensive part of enterprise AI was never the model — it was the headcount wrapped around it. The Claude and GPT calls cost the same whether you're a 5,000-person company or a 15-person shop.

What you're paying for at scale is integration, governance, and custom tooling. An SMB that picks the right workflow gets 90% of the value for a rounding-error fraction of the spend.
