#13: Computer vision with Plainsight.ai CEO Kit Merker

Pricing Model

Kit Merker outlines a fair and straightforward pricing model for AI solutions, emphasizing the importance of transparency and value. He explains that Plainsight AI offers an annual subscription model, charging based on the number of visual filters and camera feeds a business uses. This approach includes software development, training, and data acquisition, ensuring customers aren't "nickel and dimed" for additional services 1.

We charge based on the number of filters we give you. Up to ten camera feeds are included in the filter and then we have a very small add on fee for devices past that.

This scalable model allows businesses to benefit from continuous improvements and updates without the complexity of traditional SaaS platforms.

The biggest thing I found is that when you go into a business, you have a lot of ideas about where we can apply AI, and customers have lots of ideas.
