What the AI actually
Most AI tools bundle the model cost into the subscription. That sounds simpler. It means you cannot see what you are paying for the thinking, and it means somebody is marking it up. Ask Spica™ does it the other way.
Your own AI account, billed at cost
You connect your own AI account, so usage bills to you directly, at cost, with no middleman markup. Your plan pays for Spica. The AI usage is billed to you by your AI provider, on their invoice, at their prices.
The real numbers

You pay your AI provider directly, at cost. Nothing passes through us.
You stay in control of the bill
- Set a hard ceiling. You can set a hard monthly ceiling on your own AI account.
- See every cost. Spica shows you what each piece of work cost.
- Council runs on your accounts too. If you turn on Council for multi-model second opinions, those extra models run under your own accounts with Google, OpenAI or xAI. It is off until you add those keys.
Why we do it this way
The reason this matters is not the money. Forty dollars is not the deciding number in anyone's business. It matters because it is the one cost in this category you are usually not allowed to see.
You should be able to check our arithmetic. The simplest way to check it is to run her for two weeks and watch what each piece of work costs.
