Margin Intelligence
Real-time cost vs. revenue visibility for AI companies
Margin intelligence is unique to Nozle — no other billing platform offers it.
The problem: AI companies bill customers per API call, per token, or per model use. But the cost to serve varies dramatically by model (GPT-4 vs GPT-3.5), by usage pattern, and by customer. Without margin visibility, you're flying blind.
What Nozle provides:
- Per-customer margin: how much you earn vs. spend on each customer
- Per-model margin: which LLM models are profitable vs. loss-leaders
- Per-metric margin: margin breakdown by billable metric
- Per-plan margin: which pricing tiers are profitable
- Trend analysis: margin over time with configurable granularity
- Margin simulation: what-if analysis for pricing changes
How it works:
- You define cost models (what each unit costs you)
- Nozle tracks usage events (what you charge customers)
- Nozle computes margin = revenue - cost per event, per customer, per model
- Data is stored for fast analytical queries
- Query via SDK (nozle.margin.) or API (GET /api/v1/margin/)
Access: All margin endpoints require a secret key (sk_). Margin data is server-side only — it should not be exposed to customers.
The can() endpoint returns margin fields (cost_per_use_cents, revenue_per_use_cents, margin_per_use_cents) so you can make real-time decisions based on profitability.
