SolutionAzure OpenAI Cost Optimization Service
We cut your Azure spend without changing your product: same models where they're needed, cheaper routes where they're not, and every change tested on your evals.
At least 20% lower Azure costs after our 10% fee, live in one day, or you pay nothing.
The Azure OpenAI levers we use
- Cached input: structuring prompts so the shared prefix caches.
- Batch deployments for work that can wait.
- Provisioned vs standard: checking whether reserved capacity pays off at your real utilization.
- Model choice and output limits per call site.
Azure usage is billed through Microsoft, so we measure savings from your Azure cost data. Check Azure's pricing page for current rates.
How it works
- Free teardown. 15 minutes on a usage export. You see your biggest waste and the first fix we'd ship.
- Live in one day. You change one base URL. We switch on caching, routing, batching, and prompt and output fixes in the gateway.
- Measured on your traffic. Cost per equivalent request against an agreed baseline, typically over 14 days, reconciled with your invoices.
- Pay only from savings. Our fee is 10% of verified savings. If your all-in bill isn't at least 20% lower after it, you pay nothing.

Frequently asked questions
How can I reduce my Azure API costs?
Cache repeated prompts, move work that can wait to batch pricing, cap output and reasoning, and route simple requests to cheaper models after testing them.
Do you need to change our Azure setup?
No. You point your base URL at apicuts; your models and prompts stay the same unless you approve a change.
