€ Pricing

Use the models. Run them dedicated.

With apertus.ai you get both: curated models and a dedicated enterprise deployment with your own gateway, your apps and our operations. We price the deployment per customer; models you use per token, on dedicated GPUs or on-premise.

Step 1Your dedicated enterprise deployment
