Micro-to-Small Cloud-Hosted RAG: Pricing and Net Zero Logic
Our cloud-hosted solution gives small teams powerful Retrieval-Augmented Generation without the overhead of managing infrastructure. Pricing is simple, transparent, and aligned with both performance and sustainability.
We charge a one-time setup fee of $5,000. This includes full deployment of your environment along with training for your team on how to use the knowledge store features effectively. From there, we provide ongoing monitoring, updates, and support at a flat rate of $2,000 per month.
Hosting costs are based on DigitalOcean GPU instances. A single GPU instance costs between about $1,130 and $2,480 per month depending on the model, while an eight-GPU configuration costs around $17,250 per month when run continuously. These charges are billed directly with hosting and scale with your usage.
Because GPU usage carries an environmental footprint, we also build in the cost of rainforest protection to ensure Net Zero operation. One GPU instance requires roughly $30 to $45 per month in offsets, while eight GPUs require $240 to $360 per month. This ties your infrastructure directly to measurable sustainability outcomes.
Data ingest services are optional and priced separately depending on the type and volume of data being processed. This gives you the flexibility to handle ingestion in-house or have us manage it for you at a tailored rate.
This model combines predictable service fees with scalable hosting and optional add-ons, giving your team access to enterprise-grade AI at a size and cost that fits your needs. By directly linking usage to sustainability, you can confidently grow knowing that your AI is operating responsibly.
Managed Servers: Pricing and Net Zero Logic For Small to Enterprise
Our managed server solution delivers dedicated Dell enterprise hardware with private networking, tailored directly for your company. Each customer has their own environment, ensuring complete isolation of data, performance tuned to their workloads, and compliance-ready infrastructure.
The one-time setup fee is $20,000. This covers server deployment, installation of the full RAG stack, training for your team on knowledge store features, and configuration of your dedicated network environment. Procurement of Dell servers and renewable systems is not included in this fee and is quoted separately to fit your exact requirements.
After deployment, we provide complete monitoring, updates, and support at $5,000 per month. This covers system administration, patching, backup management, performance optimization, and direct support for your RAG workflows.
Dell hardware is purchased once and belongs to you. Typical ranges are $12,000 to $20,000 for a single-GPU server, $40,000 to $80,000 for a four-GPU configuration, and $90,000 to $150,000 for a top-end eight-GPU server. Alongside the server, you may choose to add renewable power systems sized to your environment. Solar arrays are generally $1,000 to $1,500 per kW installed, meaning $10,000 to $30,000 for a system capable of powering most servers. Small wind systems start around $50,000 to $80,000 installed and provide large-scale output for heavier deployments. Battery systems cost about $500 to $1,000 per kWh of storage, with typical server-ready solutions ranging between $50,000 and $100,000.
Every company also receives a simple, private network environment: dedicated subnetting, firewall policies, VPN access, and monitoring to ensure reliability. This keeps your operations secure and isolated from all other customers.
While the upfront investment in servers and renewable power is higher than cloud-hosted options, the long-term economics shift in your favor. Once the Dell hardware and renewable systems are purchased, the ongoing costs drop significantly. You are no longer paying cloud GPU rental fees, which can exceed thousands of dollars per month for even a single GPU. Instead, your recurring costs stabilize around the $5,000 monthly service fee plus electricity and maintenance. With solar, wind, and batteries in place, even electricity costs are largely eliminated, turning the initial renewable investment into year-over-year savings.
This approach ensures that your first-year costs reflect both deployment and capital investments, but over time the operating costs flatten and remain predictable. The result is a dedicated, sustainable infrastructure that pays for itself in reduced reliance on cloud rentals and offsets, while giving your team the confidence of full control and private ownership.
Data ingest services remain optional and are billed separately, allowing you to decide whether to manage ingestion in-house after training or have us handle it for you.
In short, managed servers require a larger upfront commitment but unlock long-term savings and stability. You own the hardware, the renewable systems, and the network, while we handle the setup, monitoring, and support. Over time, this makes managed servers the most cost-effective way to run RAG at scale, with sustainability built in from the start.
