Your clients are using your AI services.
Here's how to bill them for it.

If you’re reselling AI services, Datagate can handle the billing. By token, by second, or by request, through the same workflow you already use for voice and UCaaS.

The problem

How Service Providers Bill for AI Usage

Don’t bill AI usage manually. It might work for one or two clients, it stops working when the list grows.

● Manual workaround

No billing infrastructure for AI usage

Tokens, seconds, or requests? Every platform measures differently.

Add bundles and overage, and it’s a spreadsheet problem every cycle.

● Scaling risk

Works at five clients. Falls apart at fifty.

The workaround that feels manageable today turns into days of billing work.

Get the infrastructure right early and there’s nothing to fix later.

How it works

A similar workflow, applied to a new service type

Datagate already runs a usage billing loop for telecom. AI usage billing works in a similar way. The service type changes, but the workflow barely does.

AI usage data imported into Datagate
Step 01

Usage data in

Datagate receives a usage file from your AI platform at the end of the billing period.

AI usage rated and bundled against a rate card
Step 02

Rated and bundled

Usage is rated against the right rate card for each charge type. Bundle logic and overage apply automatically.

Invoice out

A white-labelled invoice goes to your client under your brand.

What you can bill for

Tokens, seconds, requests. Or any combination.

Different AI platforms measure usage differently. Datagate handles all three charge types on the same feed, each with its own rate card.

● Token billing
Token Consumption

Bill clients for AI usage measured in tokens, with per-token rates and optional bundle allowances.

e.g. 1,284,300 tokens → $1,284.30

● Second billing
Processing Time

Bill by the second for AI services that measure usage in compute time. Common for AI phone agents and voice-based AI tools.

e.g. 74,312 seconds → $864.00

● Request billing
API Requests

Bill per request for services that charge by the individual API call. Set included allowances with overage rates for heavy users.

e.g. 18,523 requests → $912.94
