Hemmai vs Cloud AI: The True Cost of AI Services

When it comes to AI-powered tools, the subscription costs can quickly add up. Let's compare Hemmai's local AI solution with popular cloud-based services and see the real savings.

The Cloud AI Subscription Landscape

Most cloud-based AI services operate on subscription models with significant annual costs:

OpenAI (ChatGPT Plus)

• Monthly cost: $20/month (approximately €18/month)
• Annual cost: ~€216/year
• Limitations: Usage caps, dependency on internet connection, data sent to cloud

Google Gemini Advanced

• Monthly cost: $19.99/month (approximately €18/month)
• Annual cost: ~€216/year
• Limitations: Limited free tier, premium features require subscription, data processed in cloud

Anthropic Claude Pro

• Monthly cost: $20/month (approximately €18/month)
• Annual cost: ~€216/year
• Limitations: Usage limits, cloud-based processing, potential data sharing

The Hidden Costs Add Up

When using cloud AI services, the costs don't stop at subscriptions:

• Multiple services: Many users subscribe to 2-3 different AI tools = €432-€648/year
• Overage fees: Exceeding usage limits can incur additional charges
• API costs: Developers pay per API call, which can add up quickly
• Internet dependency: Requires constant connection
• Data privacy concerns: Your data is processed on external servers

Over five years, using multiple cloud AI services can cost €2,160 to €3,240 or more.
