Your AI Invoice Shows What You Paid. Seat Yield Shows What You Got
Flat-rate AI subscriptions make spending predictable, but they can leave finance teams guessing about the value they’re receiving.

One digital marketing agency recorded a 16× seat yield and is experimenting with a shared job queue to make better use of existing subscriptions without sharing user credentials.
