The Unit Economics of AI Features: Is Your Chatbot Actually Profitable?
AI feature unit economics starts with measuring real request shape — input tokens, output tokens, feature names, and volume — before relying on generic averages.
Why AI feature unit economics Are Often Invisible
Growth can hide bad margins. A feature that delights users can still lose money if heavy users generate more model cost than their plan contributes. Cost per user is the operating number to watch.

LLMtrack records model, feature name, token counts, latency, status, and computed cost after every LLM response. That turns optimization from a guessing exercise into a ranked list of actions based on your own production traffic.
