How much is shadow AI costing your org?
Plug in your headcount and your guess at monthly AI spend. We'll estimate the unmanaged-AI cost, the consolidation savings GreyScape.ai typically recovers, and the price for your workspace.

Your numbers
Best guess across OpenAI + Anthropic + GitHub Copilot + every paid Cursor / Midjourney / Perplexity seat you know about. If you have no idea, leave the default — most mid-market orgs land within 50%.
How we got the numbers
Personal-tier subscriptions
≈ 38% of knowledge workers in mid-market companies have at least one personal-tier AI subscription (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Cursor, Midjourney, etc.) charged to corporate cards. Avg ticket size: $20-30/mo per person.
Duplicate / overlapping vendor spend
Mid-market companies typically run 4-7 AI vendors with overlapping capabilities. Consolidation onto 2-3 primary vendors (with the others retired or moved to free tiers) recovers 18-25% on average.
Anomaly catches
AI APIs spike unpredictably — a single misconfigured loop can burn $5k overnight. FinOps-style anomaly detection catches these within hours instead of at month-end.
Vendor right-sizing
Enterprise plans negotiated against actual usage data (rather than headcount or hopeful guesses) tend to save 10-15% at contract renewal.
What we left out
Productivity gains from giving employees the right AI tools faster, compliance-fine avoidance, and brand-risk avoidance from leaked prompts — all real, all hard to quantify, all NOT in our numbers below.
